I am a veteran government affairs strategist known for my collaborative, non-partisan approach, going deep on policy and taking the time to clearly understand clients' operational business needs. I enjoy working on complex issues and helping clients grow.

20+ years

In recent years, for my clients I secured, among other things: regulatory reforms in mid-level health professional licensing, a critical delay in state diesel emissions rules, a statutorily unique technology enterprise zone, and statutory protection for media access to wildfire and natural disaster sites.

I have deep, bipartisan relationships at the Oregon State Capitol, built over nearly 30 years of helping clients resolve policy and regulatory problems, as well as moving policy initiatives into law and implementing rules at an agency level. When a defensive posture is necessary, we defend our clients' interests in ways that hopefully leave policymakers much more informed of the issues involved than they were before an initiative was brought forward.

A contract lobbyist since 2017, prior to starting my current lobby practice I served in senior regional corporate government affairs roles and as a small trade association executive director. I've also served as a volunteer board leader, including the boards of Lines for Life and ALS Northwest. Earlier in my career, I worked in media and public relations roles in DC and another state capital.
