I have been in government relations for 25 years. I am a partner in a multi-client firm with a broad spectrum of clients in every major sector. Prior to joining Fine Geddie I worked in the Finance Department of both Republican and Democrat governors, where I oversaw procurement, information technology and fiscal/financial legislation. I have worked in the financial services sector in government relations and for the state' largest business association. I have successfully managed a wide array of legislative, regulatory, economic development, and procurement issues in state and local government.
Fine Geddie was established in 1984 as the first contract lobbying firm in the State of Alabama. We are an ethnically, age, gender and disciplinarily diverse firm. We are bipartisan.

Our growth has been fueled by consistent results and successful outcomes. The most prominent businesses with a presence in Alabama rely on Fine Geddie as their most trusted advisors for navigating government relations.
