Not quite sure how I got here, but incredibly blessed that I am. Well, that’s not entirely true. I got here through the recommendation and help of a lot of good people with solid reputations and I’ve tried hard not to let anyone down. What I mean is, I went to school for politics and law, realized that money ran the world and sidetracked into business. Several years ago, after 8 years in healthcare finance, God had finally put me back into the influence arena. As it turns out, I’m pretty skilled at politics & policy. It’s a rare breed that can actually do both because it’s even rarer still if a person recognizes that while politics and policy are linked, they are totally separate spheres and you must adjust accordingly. This isn’t just a living; it’s my hobby. I get paid to do what I love and I cannot fathom why I was so blessed.

I relocated to Arlington, VA from a 10-year stint in Florida in 2017.

To completely escape, I love to hike the Appalachians. “The further I am from the things of man, the closer I feel to God.”
