My previous experience on Capitol Hill spans over 17 years in the House including as Chief of Staff and Appropriations Staff Associate for two senior Members of the House Appropriations Committee, former Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen and the late Congressman Dean Gallo. Both of these Members served as New Jersey’s Republican Member on the House Appropriations Committee and on key subcommittees including the Defense and Energy & Water Subcommittees. This experience provided expertise in the annual federal budget and appropriations process, working with the broadest range of corporate interests including defense, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, energy and engineering firms as well as universities and research entities, state and municipal governments, and more.
