About

Beaufort StewA little bit about my site…

If you’re a political operative, you hate the question too. You know the one – “what do you do?”

It’s not that I’m a jerk or anything. I like people. Really…I do.

It’s just that when you tell folks that you work in politics, it elicits a million questions and people just assume you always have the answers. Well, guess what? I don’t know who the next President is going to be. I don’t know where Osama Bin Laden is hiding.  I don’t know how to lower gas prices or solve the healthcare problem.

I wish I did. I guess that’s just not my gig. I’m the guy behind the scenes…behind the camera…behind the computer…behind the mail piece.

I don’t know the answers to all the big questions.  I know how to run campaigns.  That’s what I’m good at. That’s what I like to do.

I’m a professional political operative. A southern one.  I’ve won a lot of races and lost a few too. I’ve run campaigns, worked on campaigns, and consulted campaigns. I’ve started a couple cool political companies and even been caught up in a political controversy or two. All in all, I’m only 28 years old and I’ve already had a whole lot of fun in the political world.

So, what about the site?

It’s going to be a lot like Beaufort Stew - a whole bunch of random crap thrown in a pot and stewed to Southern perfection.

There are all kinds of political blogs out there, but there are few that tell you about the life of a professional political operative. There’s a real good chance that you don’t even care, but from the number of questions I get after I tell folks what I do, I know that there are a good many that are interested.

Now, this isn’t going to be some kind of reality show blog.  I obviously have a lot of confidential information surrounding what I do, so you ain’t going to hear about everything.  However, I’m addicted to Twitter, so you can follow what I’m up to.  I’ll be publishing all sorts of things on my blog – my opinion on issues, my thoughts on strategies and campaigns, what I’m doing on a particular day, and bunch of “how to” campaign stuff.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy the site.
