Washington, DC
I worked in the Public Affairs and Research Departments for Barry Barringer. There, I met key Reagan NH finance figure, Gerald Carmen, while he was waiting for a meeting.
Carmen helped me get a NH Reagan/Bush campaign job several months later to achieve two objectives: see more of my girlfriend then attending Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH; but also to invest in hands-on New Hampshire campaign experience to help me with future campaign employment opportunities down the road.
