leadership. integrity. service
Anyone who has participated in or benefited from the DC Bar knows how impressive its mission, mandate, and members are. It sets the standard for pro bono, training, practice management, and lawyer assistance programs - and more. I remain convinced that my decades of prosecutorial, professorial, military and judicial work offer the right mix of experiences and qualities to serve as your next President-elect, maintain this excellence, and adapt the Bar to our uncertain times.
As an Army lawyer and military judge, I defended soldiers, advised leaders, supported families, and stewarded trials in matters with consequential legal, financial, and judicial impact. My service also taught me how to build and lead accountable, flexible, synergistic teams of lawyers, paralegals, and others with initiative, compassion, and vision. I vow to employ these lessons prudently.
As a DC AUSA, I prosecuted a wide range of crimes, always making reason, attention to detail, and integrity my watchwords. I have taken a similarly meticulous approach to the international and intelligence counsel I provide the DEA, where I lead a team of attorneys supporting law enforcement professionals and facilitating interagency and international relationships worldwide. I would lead our Bar as I pursue justice: with passion, decisiveness, and balance.
For 20+ years I have helped develop generations of lawyers as an Adjunct Professor at GW Law and a guest lecturer elsewhere, so strong outreach to our professional pipelines is in my heart.
As a supportive husband to a Hispanic lawyer, I have lived many issues confronting minorities in our profession. So, as a teacher, mentor, decision-maker, hiring coordinator, and leader of our multicultural military, I have promoted diversity, inclusivity, and sensitivity aggressively.
Ultimately, I vow foremost to bring vigor, deliberation, collaboration, and clear communication to the novel challenges and unique opportunities that will confront our post-pandemic community.
I appreciate your kind consideration, and hopefully your vote!
