At Public Democracy, we’re using our best-in-class Values Data and empathy-based AI to fill holes in data and gain deeper understanding on undervalued communities in American and around the world. Our goal is not to admire problems, however. Empathy and data are our tools for measurable and real world change. Injustice and economic inequality are both moral blights and also market inefficiencies. We're building tools and practices that shift markets and systems in more just directions, following our B Corp mission to "align what is right with what works."

Nonresident fellowship with Loomis Council.

Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council within the GeoTech center focused on the following portfolio: data trusts and structures, inclusive growth and data collection, medical data and privacy, computational propaganda, and artificial intelligence development policy.

The Eleison Group was founded on the belief that it is possible to align what is right with what works politically and economically, and that doing so is the most effective way to bring about positive and lasting change. We are a full-service consulting firm helping political, non-profit, business, and government entities better understand America’s rich and complex community, communicate with them through shared values and key moments of interest, and build strategic and meaningful relationships on the local and national level.

Non-Profit that played a key role in securing passage of the New START and Arms Control Treaty, brought faithful Americans together to successfully advocate on behalf of a number of domestic priorities from childhood hunger and stewardship of creation to ending torture to ensuring a just tax policy. AVN used its powerful domestic platform to engage internationally around refugees and the South Sudan Peace process and in successful advocacy campaigns to change international corporate policies on child labor, land grabs, and extraction.

ChristianFamilyGames.co Our experiment in gaming to change hearts and minds. Our first mobile game, Word Search, was the top-rated Christian game on the iStore for over a year. We learned a lot and would like to pick this back up again at a future date but just didn't have the time to keep developing on the side. So the project is shelved for now...

Founded in the summer of 2005, Common Good Strategies (CGS) was a political strategy firm dedicated to helping Democrats reclaim the debate on faith and values. CGS worked with Democratic elected officials, candidates, and social justice-minded non-profits to develop and implement religious outreach programs that improve relationships and understanding with the religious community. CGS work was featured in a TIME cover story and received significant national attention for its role in reshaping the way Democrats communicated and engaged in 2006 where our 7 Senate and Gubernatorial candidates all won, and outperformed national Democrats by 20 points with White Protestants and 10 points with Catholics. CGS has worked with: Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Sen. Bob Casey Gov. Ted Strickland Sen. Sherrod Brown Michigan Democratic Party Gov. Jennifer Granholm Kansas Democratic Party Gov. Kathleen Sebelius Rep. Heath Shuler During the height of this past campaign season, CGS had eight staff working in six different states.

Handled Homeland Security and Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations; Budget; Tax; Faith Working Group; Democratic Budget Group...and learned a lot from a great boss and staff.

A wonderful first job. I got to see how the Senate really worked, drafted and negotiated legislation, learned the importance of lobbyists to our process. I learned from the best who expected the best, and I got to work for the Lion of the Senate. Every time I walked into his office or hideaway, it was like walking into a history book with the artifacts from his family on the walls and tables. My work on the committee focused on bio-terrorism, vaccines, and genetics, and I was there for the debate on going to war with Iraq. I got to cap my Senate experience by floor staffing the Medicare prescription drug debate, and preparing and starting a filibuster...and what I will probably remember most is when everything stopped in the middle of that hugely important bill so Senators could pause and quietly listen to Senator Byrd's annual practice of reciting his (rather long) Ode to Spring, which he wrote and read each year from the Senate floor.
