“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a judge, I believe it is important to stay connected to the community. I learned the importance of community involvement at an early age and I know that volunteering to serve local charities, coaching youth sports, serving meals at churches, leading boards and non-profit organizations has allowed me to serve the common good for our community.
The nature of this service also helps me stay in touch with our community expectations and allows me to know people from all situations living in Cole County.
