This will be the ninth time Woessner has served in the capacity of presiding judge since assuming the office of Probate/Juvenile Division judge for the Wood County Court of Common Pleas on Dec. 29, 1998. 

Judge Matthew L. Reger recently completed a two-year term serving as administrative judge. In 2023, Reger will serve as a member of the judicial advisory board of the Northwest Community Corrections Center and the Maumee Watershed Conservancy District Court.
