John 15:13- “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends”.

We chose today to pause.
We chose today to remember.
We chose today to reflect.
We chose today to be greatful.

Today, we remember all those whom have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Keeping up with the tradition!
Hannea’s Mom first sent me a picture like this 7 years ago on election morning. Hannea was 9 and I was running in my first election. I’m Really proud of the progress Hannea has made over the last few years and the dedication she has. She’s always been a supporter of mine and i am sure Mom is proud of the young lady she’s become! Next Election, I’ll finally have your vote, Hannea! 🙂🇺🇸 🗳

For the past six years I have had the privilege of serving as Justice in the Village of Dansville Court. It’s with great honor and enthusiasm that I am running for Re-Election on March 19th

The Village of Dansville Court is ranked 5th busiest in Livingston County and 326th out of 1218 Town and Village Courts in the State of New York and since 2012 I have personally presided over (in excess of) 8000 cases. Over the past few years there has been a continual focus on the criminal justice system in New York, the laws, mandates and processes are constantly changing. I have presided over cases involving sexual offenders, domestic violence, DWI’s, drugs, probation violations, youthful offenders, various traffic offenses, bench and jury trials and numerous cases involving small claim and civil issues, just to name a few. A court with this volume and array of complex issues requires knowledge, experience and dedication.

I am certified by the Office of Court Administration and have successfully completed all required training and exams and dedicate myself to furthering my knowledge of the laws and procedures through continuing education and online learning. I take the time to understand the complex issues that have been or could be presented in the Dansville Village Court and I work diligently to apply the law appropriately while making sure all those who appear in court are treated with impartiality and respect. Currently I am a member of the New York State Magistrates Association.

My duty as Judge doesn’t end when court is over on Wednesday evenings. I am on call seven days a week, 24 hours a day. I pride myself on being available and promptly responding to the needs of the law enforcement community, no matter what time of the day it is.

Myself, along with my Court Clerk and Co Judges have worked to secure more than $40,000 in grant money issued by the Justice Court Assistance Program (JCAP) since 2013 to upgrade the Dansville Court with no cost to the local tax-payers. These upgrades have included new television and video equipment, new storage equipment, new security cameras in 2017 and this year, we’ll receive new seating, carpeting and conference tables.

Other Judges have said “The Town and Village Courts are the backbone of our criminal justice system, it’s where everyday people handle everyday problems” and I couldn’t agree more. Though I’m not afraid to hold those who are found guilty of criminal offenses accountable, I have worked diligently to dispense justice fairly and impartially, holding fast to my belief that the judiciary should be characterized by integrity and independence.

I am asking for your support and trust in the upcoming General Election on March 19th. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
