About Me:

I have extensive political campaign experience, beginning with the 1972 McGovern campaign (which I served by circulating petitions, phonebanking, and conducting GOTV activities in my native state of Illinois) through the 2008 Obama campaign, which I served on the ground in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Oregon, and South Dakota, in addition to fundraising and national phonebanking throughout the primary election cycle via MyBarackObama.com.

Over the years, I have also provided design and editorial services to various local campaigns and the Brown for President national campaign in 1992.

Professionally, I have served since 1981 as Executive Director of the Do It Now Foundation, a Tempe, AZ-based not-for-profit educational publisher.
