§ 002 — ON THE RECORD

They say fortune favors the bold. In this business, I've learned that bold only gets you in the room. Ruthless execution is what keeps you there.

"The perfect example of the dysfunction of the American left." — Charlie Kirk, on my life's work

I'm a strategist, operator, and campaign lifer who believes the best work happens when I do things differently — and do them well.

I cut my teeth in crisis management, then sharpened my craft in campaign strategy, fundraising, and field operations. I've been pushing the limits of what's possible in politics ever since.

Before building VoteNexus as Chief Operating Officer, I served as Chief of Staff at Sole Strategies & National Ground Game — leading the executive team, managing operations nationwide, and helping shape the firm's strategic direction through some of the most high-stakes fights of the cycle.

I was the Chief Architect of The Unfuck America Tour — a bold, cross-country movement built to challenge extremism and re-energize young voters at a time when democracy itself felt on the line.

I've had the privilege of working with principals ranging from first-time challengers to national leaders. The approach doesn't change: clear thinking, bold execution, and deep respect for the people who power the politics.

If it's high-stakes, high-impact, and maybe a little crazy — you'll probably find me right in the middle of it. — BR
