My alternative dispute resolution experience includes serving as both a neutral and an advocate in mediation and arbitration proceedings. As a mediator, I have facilitated divorce and family law mediations, helping parties resolve issues involving property division, parenting, and other family-related disputes through negotiated settlement. I have also served as an arbitrator in a private business dispute, rendering a decision after considering the evidence and arguments presented by the parties. In addition, I have represented a claimant as counsel in an American Arbitration Association (AAA) commercial breach of contract arbitration, providing firsthand experience with arbitration procedure, case preparation, evidentiary presentation, and advocacy. My legal career has further involved extensive negotiation of complex commercial agreements and dispute resolution in both military and civilian practice. As a retired United States Air Force Judge Advocate and former Deputy Chief of the Air Force Contract Law Field Support Center, I regularly advised on high-value government contracts and negotiated resolutions involving multiple stakeholders, experiences that directly inform my practical and collaborative approach to mediation.
Approach
<h2>My Approach</h2> I believe the most durable resolutions are those the parties create themselves. My role as a mediator is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to facilitate productive communication, identify underlying interests, and help parties explore practical solutions that meet their individual needs and objectives. My mediation style is facilitative, structured, and solution-oriented. I create an environment in which each participant has an equal opportunity to be heard while maintaining focus on the issues that must be resolved. When appropriate, I use private caucuses to help parties candidly evaluate risks, clarify priorities, and explore settlement options they may not have previously considered. Drawing on my experience as an attorney, retired Air Force Judge Advocate, and negotiator, I help parties analyze complex legal, financial, and practical issues without providing legal advice or advocating for either side. My goal is to help participants make informed decisions, preserve important relationships whenever possible, and reach agreements that are realistic, comprehensive, and built to last. Whether the dispute involves family matters, business relationships, contracts, or other civil issues, I strive to conduct every mediation with professionalism, impartiality, patience, and respect.
