I founded DCLRS in 1991 as a full-service government relations practice with expertise in legislative and regulatory affairs. Our talented team helps clients in a number of policy areas including agriculture, climate policy, energy, international, labor and immigration, pesticides and fertilizers, small business, transportation and infrastructure, and water policy.I am also the author of The Pale-Faced Lie, my memoir about living on the Navajo Indian Reservation with a violent father and a mentally ill mother. I am humbled that this very personal memoir has now sold over 170,000 copies and been published in 14 languages to date. Publishers Weekly stated: “This painful memoir . . . delivers a truthful and ultimately empowering missive about the long shadow cast by an abusive parent.”You can learn more about DCLRS and the Pale-Faced Lie in my profile below: feel free to visit my LinkedIn pages for each of them. Both are very meaningful parts of my life and in fact, readers of my book learn how my government relations career began. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from a career representing clients before the federal government and writing The Pale-Faced Lie, it is this: Every person has a story.
