Personal Statement:
A judge must not merely know the law.  He must also manage each case fairly with respect to all parties and their attorneys.  Managing disputes requires attention to the smallest details while maintaining the big picture.  I have enjoyed working as a soccer referee for 29 years officiating tough matches involving semi-professional teams and Division I college conferences.  This experience, coupled with 26 years of a litigation and appellate practice has taught me how important excellence and attention to detail are to the parties involved.  My service as City-County Councillor and Assessor taught me about the costs and logistics of operating an important county agency such as a Superior Court and the need to conserve scarce county resources to lessen the burden on taxpayers.  I believe my experience would be a welcome addition to the Marion County Superior Court bench.
