With nearly 20 years of experience in political strategy, campaign management, and electoral coordination, I bring a unique blend of digital micro-targeting, traditional community organizing, and influencer-based coalition building to every race.

From local ballot initiatives to presidential elections, I’ve developed and executed winning political campaigns across Ohio and nationally—always with a sharp eye on voter behavior analytics, message authenticity, and cultural relevance.

My team and I help campaigns:

  • Build high-impact voter outreach programs using predictive data modeling
  • Develop customized campaign messaging that resonates with diverse communities
  • Coordinate multilingual community engagement efforts
  • Execute turnkey campaign infrastructure, from GOTV to strategic media placement


My career includes consulting for national leaders like:

  • HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge
  • Congresswoman Shontel Brown
  • Former Governor Ted Strickland
  • County Executive Armond Budish


I’ve also served as Ohio strategist for the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden—successfully mobilizing voters across Black, Arab American, and Latino communities, building trusted relationships with faith leaders, business coalitions, and civic organizations.

Whether it’s a city council campaign or a statewide initiative, my focus is always the same: authentic messaging, strategic targeting, and community-driven impact.
