WHY MICHAEL BELONGS IN THE ROOM
He knows how to conduct in-depth research.
In college, Michael worked alongside a tenured professor to conduct qualitative research on macroeconomic forecasting and partisan bias. His efforts were even recognized in the final draft of the professor’s paper, as he was lucky enough to be (briefly) mentioned in the footnotes.
He keeps his finger on the pulse of legislative activity.
Michael credits his time as a political consultant for helping him understand how to track legislative activity and public statements of several Members of Congress to ensure he is always up to date with the most pressing issues from the Hill.
He knows the value of hard work.
When he was in high school, Michael started his own landscaping business which he continued to manage while maintaining full-time internships. With his life of lawn clippings and leaf blowers behind him, Michael is excited to bring that same work-ethic to ROKK.
