The Chesapeake Group approaches government relations and lobbying with a focus on customer service and information sharing. Navigating bureaucracy can be intimidating and frustrating, but through decades of experience and relationship building I assist my clients in achieving their goals at the Capitol and understanding the complex processes behind the scenes. Connecting people to tackle issues and remove barriers to business is tremendously rewarding and why I love my work.

Since that time he has advocated issues from industry-supported fee increases, tax cuts and pro-business legislation.
