Running a successful political campaign requires focus, creativity, teamwork, and enjoying the exciting experience (meeting so many good people while campaigning is genuinely encouraging). With the significant investment of time and resources by the candidate, their family, staff, and supporters, the stakes are high. As a general political consultant, I help put the many elements of a campaign (strategy, message, research, advertising, mail, digital, grassroots, absentee voting, get-out-the-vote, earned media, budget, scheduling priorities) together by:• Listening to the client’s priorities and perspective;• Researching the field of candidates, district/state, and situation;• Building a top-notch team (utilizing specialists in their craft);• Developing a strategy and game plan; and• Working with the whole team to implement the plan, make adjustments, and stay ‘on message’ as the battle intensifies.My clients over the years have included Congressman Tim Walberg, Congressman Fred Upton, Michigan House Floor Leader Aric Nesbitt, Supreme Court Justices Brian Zahra and David Viviano, State Representative Bronna Kahle, the Michigan House Republican Campaign Committee, and Associated Builders and Contractors of Michigan, among others. I am grateful to have worked with some of the finest minds in politics, enabling us to win in many cases despite being outspent.

I served as Congressman Tim Walberg’s Chief of Staff in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013, where my main responsibilities comprised strategic planning, team management, and overall communications.
