I am deeply connected to Snohomish County, a community I proudly consider my family. With over 25 years of experience as a business owner and a successful trial and appellate attorney, I understand the complex legal challenges that working families and business owners face daily. Law is my third career, enabling me to bring valuable insights from my construction and mortgage brokerage backgrounds.

Throughout my time as a judge pro tem, I have had the privilege of presiding over more than 1,700 cases in Snohomish County District Courts. I have managed a diverse range of matters, including criminal cases, civil motions, small claims, and protection order hearings. I am committed to ensuring that our justice system is accessible to all, making certain that everyone—especially those who need interpreters—receives fair and impartial treatment.

As the only candidate with the experience of arguing before the Washington State Supreme Court twice, as well as trial experience in both federal court and civil litigation, I have consistently upheld the constitutional rights of our community. My dedication to a transparent and fair justice system, coupled with my experience as a parent of a US Navy veteran, uniquely positions me to serve as your Snohomish County Superior Court Judge in Position 12. Together, we can re-imagine a justice system that truly works for everyone.

Oh, by the way, did you know? 

Judicial races in Washington are non-partisan by design.

Judge's Judicial Canon 1. “A Judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.”

You the people hold all the power to elect your judges to ensure they will uphold the Constitution, enforce laws, and serve as neutral decision-makers regardless of race, gender expression, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation.

Throughout this race, I have enjoyed attending events held by both parties, listening to differing perspectives, and speaking on my vision for the court and how to move the judiciary to become more transparent for the people of Snohomish County.

I am honored to have bipartisan support. I promise to serve as your next judicial officer with integrity, honesty, and impartiality. Thank you for your vote!

With gratitude,
