Message from the Founder
I’m the founder of Alpha Democrat Strategies, a digital platform where I research and document the electoral performance of veteran candidates in Democratic races. My work examines a measurable trend: military veterans consistently outperform non-veteran Democrats by 3-8 points with independent voters in swing districts.
Over a decades-long career as a web developer, I’ve built expertise in digital content creation and cross-functional project management. My professional background spans data management, content strategy, and technical documentation across various industries. These skills enable me to transform publicly available electoral information into persuasive data visualizations designed for general readers.
I hold a B.A. in History from San Francisco State University and a certification in technical writing from Oregon State University. This background in research methodology enables me to identify patterns in polling data, election results, demographics, and messaging studies.
Alpha Democrat Strategies is an entrepreneurial expression of my desire to make a consequential impact on the state of electoral politics in the US. I use the platform to document the electoral advantages of promoting veterans as political candidates: Marine veteran Ruben Gallego’s 2024 Arizona Senate win (outperforming Kamala Harris by 8 points), the 2018 Blue Wave when veteran Democrats flipped 41 House seats, and VoteVets PAC’s recruitment of 100+ veteran candidates for 2026. My analysis focuses on what the available data reveals about this electoral phenomenon.
The platform serves journalists, researchers, political observers, and anyone interested in understanding the intersection of military service and electoral politics.
I am a US citizen, currently based in Italy. I’m available for commentary on veteran candidate trends, Democratic electoral patterns, swing state dynamics, and the 2026 midterm landscape. Feel free to send me a message using our Contact page.
