I've been involved in Iowa politics and legislative work for over three decades. For almost 20 years I worked for the House Republican Staff, primarily on Appropriations issues. Then I worked for the administration of Governor Branstad, primarily in purchasing, construction, human resources, and accounting. My experience gives me good insight into the legislative process and how to formulate the best plan for achieving clients' goals.

11-15 years

Helped Polk County Medical Society pass a restriction on medical malpractice lawsuits. Assisted in passing several bills for the Iowa Professional Fire Fighters, including coverage for PTSD and expanding the cancer definition. Was part of the team that passed a bill authorizing fantasy sports and sports wagering in Iowa. Helped prevent a tax increase on credit unions.

I have built strong relationships with the leadership of both chambers as well as key committee chairs including Ways and Means, State Government, and Commerce.

Graduated from Buena Vista University with a BA degree. Began career as a district staffer for Congressman Fred Grandy. Worked on the presidential campaign of Governor Lamar Alexander.

Worked for the House Republican Staff for nearly 20 years, then spent 2.5 years in the Branstad Administration. Began multi-client lobbying in 2015. Have one daughter, a recent Iowa State University graduate.
