"Alex is one of the smartest public affairs professionals I have worked with in Washington. He has a keen strategic sense of how to design and execute a campaign to solve a client's problems. He is one of the best writers I have encountered and a quick study. He does it all with a combination of professionalism and good humor that make him a real asset to any public affairs effort."

"Alex is an extraordinarily talented, dedicated and effective communicator. But beyond his skill, the real key to his success is his passion for his work and for his clients. More than most, Alex truly believes in the potential of great communications to change outcomes for organizations. That belief drives him to constantly seek to do more within the context of any campaign in which he is involved. In an industry that far too often settles for "good enough," this energy is what sets Alex apart."

"Alex was a critical part of my political response team, he help develop tools that built public awareness, motivated action and helped deliver bi-partisan support for pro-labor legislation in a highly polarized environment. Our success and growth as an organization was in no small part due to his contribution. In addition to his tactical expertise, he helped us fundamentally reshape our organizational approach to political crisis management."

"Alex has strong relationships and knows how to connect people with ideas and actions that create all kinds of success and opportunities. That is complemented by his engaging and positive attitude, which he maintains even in the most challenging of circumstances to effectively lead strategy and concept development. I perhaps most appreciated his strong sense of news, understanding for how a story is shaped, and how to take full advantage of the news cycle."
