I’m the guy you call when:
- The governor’s office tells you on Tuesday they want you to speak at a press conference on Friday.
- The Los Angeles Times wants to interview you about a complicated policy issue.
- You need an op-ed for the Sacramento Bee—and you needed the first draft yesterday.
Situations like these call for a particular combination of policy fluency, media instincts, message discipline, and speed.
That’s what I bring.
I help executives, organizations, and public-interest leaders figure out what they want to say, find the angle, shape the message, and put the right words behind it.
The goal is bigger than simply getting through an interview or placing an op-ed. It’s to strengthen your public voice, raise your visibility, and give you greater ability to shape the conversation in a fast-moving—and sometimes adversarial—policy environment.
I’ve spent more than 30 years in public relations and strategic communications, working with corporations, government agencies, and organizations in transportation, energy, and public policy.
Today, I work with a small number of clients who want experienced, executive-level communications help without a big agency or a lot of process.
I find the angle. I shape the message. I write the words. And I’ll even coach you to help make sure a good opportunity doesn’t get wasted.
Let’s connect and discuss your public relations needs.
