I have been in the state (and local) government relations space for over 25 years now, and most of that time has been with MultiState. Everyday, I consider myself extremely lucky to still love what I do, work with colleagues I admire, and effectively resolve clients' policy challenges. It's a great feeling to know you have smart people, expansive nationwide resources, and cutting edge technology and engineers to help solve client problems and exceed service expectations.
