About me
In 1996, I was selling title insurance to realtors and saw the internet coming before they did. In 2008, I watched campaigns ignore social media while I built digital strategy for mine. In 2012, I won a longshot Assembly race because I understood technology my opponents didn't. Every decade, the same pattern: a new technology reshapes politics, and the people closest to it move first.
Now it's AI. After 4 years in the California State Assembly and a decade in government affairs, I founded AutomatedTeams — an AI consultancy that joins campaign teams as an embedded operator, not a software vendor. I'm not writing about AI for politics. I'm building it, running it, and shipping it to live campaigns every week.
What I'm doing
-
AI + Politics
I write and think publicly about how AI is reshaping campaigns, fundraising, and political operations. If you're trying to understand what's coming, start with the blog.
-
Government Affairs & Advocacy
Strategic policy consulting, coalition building, and legislative advocacy to help organizations navigate complex regulatory environments.
-
AutomatedTeams
My AI consultancy for political campaigns. We join your team as an embedded operator — donor research, email follow-up, content production, voice reception — built around your specific race. Not a product. A person with the tools.
-
Content & Video Production
AI-powered fundraising videos, candidate introductions, issue explainers, and social content — produced continuously without a production company or videographer’s schedule.
