I want Washington County to remain a safe place to live, work, and raise a family. My wife and I have chosen to raise our family here, and I am invested in the future of our community and your safety.
As your District Attorney, I have worked to ensure all members of our community are safe and protected from crime. Washington County voters have twice elected me to ensure we live in a safe community. I have a proven track record of working with law enforcement, civic groups, and community partners to protect public safety. Throughout my career, I have worked with hundreds of crime victims and prosecuted our county’s most serious crimes, including murder, child abuse, sex trafficking, elder abuse, domestic violence, and financial embezzlement. Before I was elected and re-elected as District Attorney, I spent a decade as a child abuse prosecutor protecting children from sex crimes. I believe that everyone has the right to live in safety without fear or worry of crime. When crime does occur, the District Attorney must ensure that justice follows.
I lead a District Attorney's Office that includes approximately 140 employees whose mission is to seek justice and protect our community. Together, we have worked hard to keep Washington County one of the safest urban communities on the West Coast.
As your District Attorney, I have been part of many organizations and non-profits serving our community. These include:
-
Washington County Major Crimes Team
-
Family Justice Center of Washington County
-
Building Bridges of Understanding
-
Washington County Public Safety Coordinating Council
-
St. Mary's Home for Boys
-
Oregon District Attorney's Association
-
National District Attorney's Association
I was raised locally and live in Washington County with my wife and three children. I graduated from Jesuit High School, Gonzaga University and the University of Notre Dame Law School. When I'm not in the office or courthouse, you can usually find me cheering on one of my kids at a local soccer field or basketball court!
With your support, I will continue protecting and serving our community as your Washington County District Attorney.
