Forty years as an advocate in labor relations, arbitration, negotiations, mediation, fact finding, personnel matters, employment matters, budget matters and executive contracts and compensation.

I approach mediation, arbitration and fact finding as an opportunity to focus on mutual interests and separating fact from emotion to assist the parties in seeing the practical benefits of participating in the resolution of their dispute. I adapt my style to the needs of the parties encouraging communication and an understanding of the parties’ respective positions. I utilize caucuses to gather information and allow parties to verbalize frustrations in a non-confrontational environment. This also provides the opportunity to give direct feedback and engage in problem solving moving the parties to a resolution. In providing an impartial evaluative approach to assessing issues, costs, and risks, I work towards the goal of bringing the parties to a mutually acceptable resolution. Through questioning and coaching, parties have an opportunity to verbalize their positions so as to assist in the creative solution to the dispute.
