RECENT EXPERIENCE:

Note that Commencing sometime in early to mid-2015, I have been involved with various political campaigns of political aspirants within Local (Whitpain Township), Montgomery County, and Pennsylvania State elections. My duties in this regard were various. I do intend to keep the political party affiliation of these various, elected office seekers anonymous, however the offices being sought were Township Auditor, Local Tax Collector, Township Supervisor, District Magistrate, County District Attorney, County Sheriff, County Commissioner, State Representative, and State Governor. I have (in past years (CY13 and elections) performed these functions on a voluntary, pro bono basis in support of various friends and acquaintances who were running for a public office (U.S. Congress, State Representative, etc.), however I now get sought out for my help and the compensation is primarily on a “1099” basis. My capabilities in this regard range from the conceptualization of the item through the coordination and the writing/overseeing of the development of the final review piece (e.g. text or graphic) and production/printing/recording of the resulting publication.
