The quiet work of getting government to move.

Three levels of government, from the inside. Relationships with the people in the rooms, because he helped put some of them there. Every mandate registered, every meeting earned.

—A seven-year regulatory fight, closed in twelve months
—Watching briefs to embedded representation, scoped to the mandate
—Hill Days that get every meeting right the first time

SCROLL

The premise

Win the room. Win the riding.

A full-service lobbying and campaign shop, run by one person on purpose. Ten years, fifty campaigns, three levels of government — and the name on the proposal is the name in the room.

Most firms sell you a partner and staff you with associates. Here, the person who learns your file is the person who walks it into the building. When you hire me, you get me.

The record

Built on the inside of all three levels of government.

An MP's office in Ottawa. Three years in Alberta's Official Opposition, leading the Finance portfolio. A councillor's office at Edmonton City Hall. Then a government relations function built from nothing at the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association, and the GR file run at scale for Federated Co-operatives Limited.

Campaigns worked across four provinces, from local races to national leadership contests

In the rooms

Relationships are built before they're needed.

Premiers, ministers, MPs, MLAs, councillors. A decade of showing up, on campaigns, at receptions, across the table.

Which room are you walking into?

For organizations

I need government to move on something.

A file that's stuck, a regulation being written, a relationship that doesn't exist yet. See how the quiet work gets done, then tell me what you're up against.

For candidates

I'm thinking about running. Or already am.

A nomination to win, a general to prepare for, a campaign that needs structure. See how a winning race gets built. The early conversations win.
