Since becoming an Assistant State’s Attorney, I have had the opportunity to represent the Office at various local and national events, which has enabled me to see how highly respected this Office is within the larger legal community. Also, as a Black male prosecutor I have had the opportunity to add a different perspective in the courtroom, a perspective that is needed in the criminal justice system.

I know that many within minority communities are suspicious of the criminal justice system and law enforcement. However, through hard work and professional efforts, I hope to challenge such negative views. I represent a growing number of minority prosecutors who likewise aspire to persevere in the interest of securing justice for victims of crime, many of whom are minorities as well. As with anything in life there is always room for improvement, and I believe that the criminal justice system can only be enhanced by more minorities bringing their cultural experiences to the courtroom, particularly in the role of a prosecutor; I believe that they, too, will find the experience rewarding and uplifting.
