• Direct all aspects of a nonprofit advocacy organization, including budget, staff, fundraising, policy analysis, coalition building, and communications.
  
  Routinely analyze hundreds of pages of government policy documents, develop oppositional strategy and messaging, and execute comprehensive rapid-response campaigns (newsletters, press releases, op-eds, social media, public testimony) within California’s 72-hour Brown Act window, consistently achieving policy reversals and regulatory relief.
  
  Regularly interview farmers, ranchers, and property owners to document regulatory impacts and craft compelling human-interest stories that educate stakeholders and influence public policy through strategic storytelling.
  
  Created and run a communications program that translates legal opinions, regulations, and government jargon into plain language in collaboration with attorneys and subject matter experts, producing newsletters, editorials, public comments, blog posts, social media, and presentations that consistently drive measurable outcomes.
  
  Design, launch, and lead advocacy efforts grounded in constitutional law, due process, private property rights, Brown Act compliance, and contractual fairness, including defeating a code-enforcement property registry that threatened due process and property rights and securing regulatory relief for rural properties in the implementation of the County Fire Code.
  
  Founded and host Ag on the Edge, a podcast that builds public understanding and shifts perspectives on land use, water, and other regulatory policy through engaging storytelling; grew audience into the top 30% worldwide by downloads.
