I am proud to have worked as a public servant for the past fourteen years, and I am particularly honored to now serve as a Circuit Court Judge. I attempt to bring diligence, respect, intelligence, common sense and integrity to all that I do as a judge, and take very seriously my duty to assure that the protections and responsibilities of Oregon's laws are applied fully and fairly to every Oregonian. I believe our state's courts function effectively and well, and commit to do my part to see that further improvements are achieved. I greatly appreciate the continued trust and support of all Multnomah County residents, as I strive to do the important work of a Circuit Court Judge.
