I lead our lobbying work with an eye towards preserving clients’ options, informing decisions, making the best possible recommendations and sticking with the work until we get a result. I resist making things more complicated than is necessary, but I can go deep on policy details and have a strong political sense for what’s actually possible in Washington.
My areas of focus include…
- Learning Fast
- Building Coalitions

- Following Through
