We work at the intersection of government, business, advocacy and public awareness.

I have worked with some of the largest companies in the nation as well as smaller organizations and individuals. I have provided counsel to private sector companies, trade associations, law firms, national public affairs consulting firms, accounting firms, public sector entities, elected officials, financial and insurance institutions, and non-profit organizations.

My clients have included those shown above as well as others such as Frito -Lay, the Alt School, the Hudson Retail Group, AutoZone, and Bank of America.

I work regularly with other public affairs/public relations firms in support of their client programs as well as with organizations such as the Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on their initiatives in Texas.

In addition to my public affairs consulting practice, for 12 years I ran the Dallas Breakfast Group, a Dallas based public affairs group of high-level business executives focused on increasing business executive engagement in civic and political affairs with a focus on the City of Dallas, the Dallas ISD, and the Dallas County Community College District.

On the civic side, I have been active in many local and state organizations including:

The U.S. Defense Department's Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Texas committee. This organization works with both employers and Guard and Reservists on issues related to Guard and Reserve service (almost half our armed forces are made up of the Guard and Reserve). I serve as the Texas committee’s statewide public affairs chair. In 2009, I was honored to receive their national public affairs volunteer of the year award.
The Dallas Friends of the Dallas Public Library Board of Directors. I serve as their advocacy chair.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's Dallas Small Business Advisory Committee. I co-chaired this important advisory committee for the TCEQ.

Column

The City of Dallas 2010 U.S. Census Complete Count Committee and Southern Dallas Task Force. I was one of four co-chairs appointed by the Mayor of Dallas oversee the 2010 Census in Dallas, and one of two co-chairs appointed by the Mayor to oversee the southeast region committee focused on bringing more economic development to southern Dallas.
I am also a past chair of the Dallas Regional Chair Local Government Affairs Committee and served on the executive committee of the Texas Association of Business for several years.
