featured campaigns
Montana Citizens Elk Management Coalition
I ran a communications campaign to improve the status-quo of elk management and habitat protection in Montana. To date, the bipartisan effort has resulted in a pending Habitat Legacy trust account that will fund future conservation-based land acquisitions and enable land and water restoration treatments on public and private lands.
Yellowstone Gateway Business Coalition
I provided communications strategy and oversight for a federal legislative campaign that helped a community-coalition of small business owners protect the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park from industrial-scale gold mining.
Montana Outdoor Heritage Project
I managed a statewide public outreach effort to gather ideas on how to enhance funding for private and public lands conservation, wildlife management, and outdoor access and recreation. Outreach included hosting 50 community conversations and soliciting 11,000 survey responses from Montana residents between May and September 2019. This outreach ultimately resulted in a new dedicated revenue source for conservation, trails, and parks.
Solar Guy
I built and managed a dynamic social media campaign intended to raise awareness about the status of Montana's renewable energy policies and advocate for less restrictive policy on behalf of consumers and small business owners interested in growing Montana's solar potential.
