Working as a researcher and consultant for a national non-profit/think tank right now, so I write a lot, travel some, and occasionally get called as an expert witness and have to testify in front of state legislatures, which is cool.
In 5 years I'm looking to do more consulting and possibly latch on either with a university in an AD role, or with a professional sports league as a lobbyist (the UFC 4-5 years ago would have been perfect...now I'm not so sure that role needs to be filled...)
Ever come down to the Georgia General Assembly? I was a "legislative liaison" (internal lobbyist) for about 10 years.
I do, actually. GA's got an amazing school choice program, and is pushing to become the first state in the country with universal choice for its residents, so we play a lot there. I work a lot with Reps. Casas and Johnson, specifically.
