What I Do
Policy work that moves at the speed of government. State legislatures, city councils, and Congress operate on their own calendar. The Synoptist is built on years of knowing those rhythms — and how to get things done within them.
Policy Research & Analysis
Rigorous, readable analysis of legislation, regulatory frameworks, and policy trends. I translate dense statutory language into clear strategic intelligence your team can act on.
Government Affairs & Lobbying
Direct advocacy at the Georgia General Assembly, Atlanta City Hall, and Capitol Hill. I build relationships, track bills, and represent your interests with credibility and precision.
Strategic Consulting
From coalition building to stakeholder mapping, I help organizations understand the political terrain and develop advocacy strategies that hold up through a full legislative session.
My Approach
The Synoptist is a small firm on purpose. Every client works directly with me — not a junior associate translating someone else’s notes. I’m Georgia-first, with deep familiarity with the General Assembly, Atlanta’s political environment, and the regional dynamics that shape Southern policy. My work extends across Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. When state issues connect to Congress — and they always do — I track federal policy and identify where the leverage points are.
Where I Concentrate My Work

Georgia General Assembly and legislatures across the South.
