The following points summarize my lobbying philosophy.The key to successful lobbying is relationships. As in all human interactions, people like to do things for people they like, and conversely, people dislike doing things for people they dislike. Successful lobbying is the art of gentle persuasion, relentlessly applied. A word used, in a professional association article about a legislative battle to describe me is "ubiquitous". That is an accurate description of what it takes to win in the governmental affairs arena.
20+ years
I have maintained a solid reputation as a well-respected and constant presence in the Capitol for over three decades. I have been on the Hill with many state policy makers throughout the entirety of their careers. My long term relationships with administration officials, legislative leaders and key staff give me the ability to reach out to these individuals quickly to ensure our clients' messages and perspectives are considered.
My diverse and significant background in government, politics and corporate strategy serves me well as a lobbyist. In addition to spending more than 25 years in government relations and executive management for the Pennsylvania Builders Association, I have also worked for the Pennsylvania Retailers Association. I understand the internal dynamics of associations and the nuances required to assist them in formulating and implementing their governmental affairs agendas. I also work with a wide range of our varied corporate clients leveraging my expertise in building construction, management, service and development.
Before launching my lobbying career, I began as a political activist while attending college. I graduated from Gannon University with a BA in Political Science and soon moved to Harrisburg where I served in several leadership staff roles within the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
