Bio
A nationally recognized federal and state government relations consultant and Founder of Terrapin. With expertise in executive, legislative and regulatory affairs at the Federal and State level.
A Minnesota native, I grew up obsessed with building a better government for all Americans. Following 9/11, I dropped out of college and joined the United States Marine Corps and served two combat tours. Following my military service, I worked for the the U.S. House of Representatives, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, then entered the data world working for Solera.
Now, we just started building out the framework for a zero-to-one government affairs platform that intends to change how government relations is conducted.
