I got my start in state politics in Texas back in the 1970s. A three-year stint in Austin led to a number of years in different graduate schools the last of which landed me a job as a communications and political consultant for the Japanese government. It was the early 1980s and an interesting time to be working for the Japanese. I stayed there six years.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving the employ of the Japanese, I spent the next twenty years in and out of agency life. I did the &#8220;agency holding company tri-fecta&#8221; &#8212; a two year tour at Ogilvy just as it was being acquired by WPP; a seven year stint at Powell Tate which became an IPG property; and am now on my eighth year at Brodeur, an Omnicom company.<\/p>\n<p>I have a few other interests.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m not working or on the road, I teach martial arts at Williams Martial Arts and Fitness in Ashburn, Virginia. I&#8217;m a decent golfer and better-than-average runner. But most of all I try and spend as much time as I can with my long-suffering wife, three outstanding children, and my four\u00a0grandsons: Max, Hudson, Marlowe and Langston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a communications professional.
