WHAT I DO: I help individuals, companies and non-profits achieve their policy goals in Congress and grow revenue with custom-crafted government relations, business development, and strategic communication solutions. WHY IT MATTERS: Just as you work hard to serve your customers and stakeholders, you want a trusted, experienced partner to solve pressing business problems and capitalize on opportunities that produce real benefits. WHY IT WORKS: Tailoring my unique, 360-degree approach to the specific needs of my clients, I create and implement high-impact solutions. My proven methodology is shaped by two decades of work across the government, corporate, and non-profit sectors: as Chief of Staff in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, management consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers, and co-founder and Board Chairman of a non-profit organization. I don't just strategize; I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my clients, dig into the details, and drive clients' priorities over the goal line.
