Other Experience :
I am a seasoned neutral with 16 years of experience serving as a judge for a large federal agency. In that role, I acted as an impartial adjudicator and objective factfinder in thousands of cases, consistently upholding the highest standards of neutrality and fairness. I also have extensive experience in labor grievance and arbitration matters, collective bargaining, and employment law—gained from working both as a union official and as a management representative. I served as the Deputy National Grievance Chair for IFPTE, Judicial Council 1 (AALJ) as an advocate and negotiator from 2022-2025. I also worked as an Asst. Regional Council for SSA's Office of the General Counsel from 2001-2009, where I handled federal court appeals and all aspects of the Agency’s labor and employment law practice, including representing management in labor arbitrations and before the EEOC and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). This dual-sided expertise further reinforces my balanced and unbiased approach to dispute resolution. Additionally, I have significant public sector labor relations experience in all areas of collective bargaining.
