Summary
Political Canvassing isn't your typical job - it is a crusade. A crusade to advance our conservative views, so that our local, state and national governments are better for all. I have been involved with political campaigns as an independent contractor since 2016 along with working and managing our family landscape business, Oakmont Outdoor Living. I enjoy working with people and have over 40 years in sales, customer service, training, management, and insurance sales as a licensed insurance agent.
