Statement: I have spent the last 14 years protecting children and
the elderly from predators. The retiring Superior Court Judge said I am
the best candidate to replace him. I’m fair, honest, independent and
hard working. I will work for you to make courts cost effective and
respectful of Constitutional and Second Amendment rights.
I was born in Okinawa at Kadena Air Base. My father and grandfather
served in the military. It was my dream to also serve, but at the age of
11 I developed juvenile diabetes and found another way to serve my
country as a prosecutor and judicial officer.
I have lived in Stevens County for 12 years with my wife, son and
daughter. My son attends Lake Spokane Elementary School. I am active in
the community and enjoy coaching little league.
I have prosecuted violent criminals, such as murderers and child
abusers. I uphold the law, fight to protect people’s rights, hold
criminals accountable and keep our communities safe. I’m endorsed by
Judges Gina Tveit and Al Nielson, who say I am the best candidate for
Superior Court Judge. I am endorsed by police, firefighters, veterans
and small business owners. I humbly ask for your vote.
