WHO I AM
Most consultants pick a lane. I built a system.
For 15 years, I have run political campaigns across Kansas -- door-to-door logistics, earned media strategy, rapid-response communications. That work taught me how to move people and resources under pressure.
It also taught me that the same systems thinking that wins elections can reshape how cities grow, how neighborhoods organize, and how culture gets made.
I run Inclusion LLC, a political consulting firm. I lead civic planning initiatives in Wichita. I build media projects that reach people traditional politics cannot. These are not side hustles -- they are spokes on the same wheel.
If you need someone who can see the whole board and execute on the details, you are in the right place.
THE BUSINESS DESK
Principal-Led. Direct Logistics. No Middlemen.
You don't get a junior associate. You get me -- running your campaign logistics, building your earned media strategy, and deploying AI-accelerated workflows that cut timelines in half.
From ballot access to press hits, the operation runs through one desk.
Rapid-response earned media frameworks delivered in 72 hours. Full campaign logistics from filing day to election night.
THE CIVIC DESK
Cities Don't Fix Themselves. Someone Has to Draw the Map.
Wichita's riverfront. Neighborhood connectivity. The gap between what planners propose and what residents actually need. I work in that gap.
The same logistics discipline that runs a campaign can organize a neighborhood, a corridor plan, or a public input process that people actually show up to.

If You Are Not Making Culture, You Are Reacting to It.
Political commentary that does not talk down to people. Memes of Wichita -- a cultural project that reached more residents than any official city campaign. Media built for the people who actually live here.
Whether it is a podcast, a video series, or a social platform, the work is about making Wichita visible to itself.

IN MY OWN WORDS
I thought if we work hard, we play by the rules, that we could leave a better place for the community behind us.
