Future Plans

This August, I will assume the role of CEO at the American Conservation Coalition. I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity and excited about the work ahead. This transition marks the beginning of a new chapter for ACC -- We spent our first three years focused on changing the narrative, our following three building the conservative environmental movement, and now, I am excited to lead ACC as we begin to mobilize our membership base into a meaningful force for grassroots advocacy. 

Why Maverick PAC?

Thanks to the impressive network that MavPac has cultivated, recognition as a Future40 recipient has fostered relationships, both professionally and personally, that have been incredibly rewarding. The opportunity to surround myself with intelligent, passionate, like-minded young professionals has made the MavPac community truly special.
