Helping clients build the case for public policy initiatives has been one of my core services the past two decades. Clients have included Oregon governors, state agency directors, city and county officials, presidential and gubernatorial commissions, and advocacy organizations. I've been involved in studies, proposals, and reports on such issues as economic development, K-12 education, higher education, forest management, and criminal justice.

From time to time, I also help clients with speeches and thought leadership articles on public issues.
