Judge
Dave was an elected judge in the Seattle area for over 22 years. He was consistently rated one of the best judges by lawyers. During his time on the bench, Dave developed the reputation as being fair to all those who appeared before him. He became nationally known for his tireless work on alcohol and drug issues and learning disabilities/attention deficit disorder in the criminal justice system. Dave developed the first DWI Victim impact panels that required offenders to listen to victims of drunk drivers as part of their sentence. He developed a program that reduced re-offense rates for those suffering from learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder by 40%.
Professor
After retiring as a judge, Dave continued his work with young people by becoming a college professor. He was the Chair of the Criminal Justice Department at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas, from 2005-2008. Dave then joined the faculty of the Political Science and Criminal Justice Department at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah. He served as Department Chair for three and a half years before his retirement in 2015. In the summer of 2010, Dave served as a visiting professional at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, The Netherlands. He acted as a legal advisor to Judge Christine Van den Wyngaert of Belgium. As a professor, Dave wrote several academic articles that were published in peer reviewed journals.
