Personal Narrative: District Court Judge

Both are A honor roll and both are incredible kids who constantly amaze me with their intelligence, respect for others and the keen wit each has developed. Every day I think about my wife and kids hundreds of time I have an extensive list of items that demonstrate how qualified I am to hold office as a District Court Judge. Instead of posting everything, I’m just going to talk about a few of the bigger ones.
