In 2006, I worked as a staffer in voter outreach and new media on Senator Rick Santorum's re-election campaign. From that experience, I have built Mission Control, a web-based campaign management solution for campaigns and organizations that are right of center.
I am a smart and outgoing guy. I really value my friendships, and I'm someone you can always count on. I am very ambitious – I want to have a huge impact on the world, and I strive to do that every day in my work in politics.
I'm a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins fan!! We've had Steelers season tickets in my family since Forbes Field, and I'm on the waitlist for Penguins season tickets. Also, I love skiing and I've been doing it since I was very little. My family has a place in Colorado and I try to make it out there to ski at least a few times each winter.
