Previously, he spent nine years in Maryland politics where he served in nearly every role from field organizer to communications director. In 2003, when online organizing was new and unproven, he managed the GenDean Blog — at just 17-years old — and his 2010 article on the potential impact of Square on political fundraising was featured on The New York Times' Bits Blog.
In 2012, he left that all behind to move to Los Angeles and join NationBuilder because he believes that everyone can be a leader.
