I’m honored to announce my role on the Leadership Council of the National Small Business Association (NSBA), America’s oldest advocacy organization for small businesses. With over 80 years of history, the NSBA has a proven track record of impact, providing a non-partisan voice for millions of small-business owners and employees nationwide.
Over a decade ago, I worked in the U.S. Senate and with several think tanks focused on international affairs and public policy; however, I left government and policy work to become more hands-on and experienced with business growth. Since then, I’ve built a career in custom growth consulting and marketing agency services, working across two dozen industries and with hundreds of companies personally. This combination of policy experience and entrepreneurial insight has given me a clear grasp of the common challenges small businesses face: regulatory complexity, access to resources, out of touch bureaucracy, broken procurement programs, inconsistent tax policy and the obstacles to scaling and innovation.
The NSBA was founded during the Great Depression to unite small-business owners with a shared purpose of influencing policies that promote growth and opportunity. It has since grown into a powerful advocate, with initiatives like the Small Business Congress and the Washington Presentation ensuring that the concerns of small businesses are heard directly by policymakers.
As a member of the Leadership Council, my goal is to connect the challenges I’ve seen firsthand with actionable solutions at the federal level. I want to ensure that small-business owners have the tools, resources, and fair policies they need to thrive in a competitive and evolving economy.
I encourage other business leaders to get involved, too, if they feel a calling to support American small business. Organizations like the NSBA succeed because of the collective power of engaged entrepreneurs. If there are specific concerns or barriers your business is facing, I’d be glad to help bring them forward and ensure they’re part of the conversation.
