Senior Client Manager

Why PASS?

I didn’t choose PASS, PASS chose me. Seriously though, I was referred to PASS via a colleague while I was working at the FEC. I interviewed for the job and the rest is history.

About Me

I grew up in the Buffalo, NY area and earned a degree in English Literature at SUNY Buffalo. This seemingly worthless degree perfectly set me up for a career in campaign finance.

Before joining PASS in 2001, I worked at the FEC for a few years. I am also a veteran of the US Navy from way back in the 80s.

Outside of work I enjoy travelling, photography and learning guitar.
