Surviving a Career Deathblow

After rising to the position of District Attorney, I found myself in a professional nightmare of my own doing, and was forced to resign from office. Despite losing my career, law license, and income, I charted a course to bounce back. I share my story of rising, falling, and getting back up again and inspire others to overcome even adversity of all shapes and sizes.

How to run for office and WIN!!

In 2000, I moved 200 miles from my home in Philadelphia to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, to accept a position as an Assistant DA. Despite not knowing a single person when I moved to Bedford, within 3 years, I was able to win Countywide office. I will show you how to put together a winning campaign, and capture the hearts of voters, and ultimately, WIN!!!
