Candidate for
Council Member; City of Cincinnati

I grew up on the West Side of Cincinnati. I put himself through the University of Cincinnati while working as a UC police officer. After graduating UC, I completed law school at Ohio Northern University.

Upon law school graduation, I have dedicated my career to public safety and public service. I worked as a prosecutor for the City of Cincinnati. I later was elected as a Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge. I also joined the US Army Reserve and attained the rank of Captain.

As Hamilton County Prosecutor, I oversaw some of the more famous and important cases in recent history. I was the first prosecutor in the nation to get a conviction against the Catholic Church in its role in the sexual abuse of children. I also successfully prosecuted Larry Flynt, Cincinnati rioters, and countless murderers, drug dealers, and rapists. I was selected by the US State Department as an expert prosecutor to instruct judges and prosecutors in war-torn Bosnia about white collar crime.

During my time as Hamilton County Prosecutor, my testimony to the Ohio General Assembly lead to increased penalties for felony OVI sentencing throughout the state. I also helped to create the "Secret Safe Place for Children" in conjunction with Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

I have served on boards for the Talbert House, Pro Kids, and the University of Cincinnati. Prior to launching my campaign for Cincinnati City Council, I have been a frequent guest legal analyst for Fox 19 and 700 WLW for the past several years.
