It was the best years of my professional life.

I set up my tax business in the County Dem's HQ and was in the middle of three congressional races, two presidential races, a lot County Officials.

I met so many people coming in and out of the county. Richard Cordray ran or State Treasurer one year and we worked together. I did polling with Zogby and designed sample ballots that we sent out to 250k democratic households.

Unfortunately, it was also taxing my health. I was burning it at on three ends; The Political Stuff, Writing for a local newspaper and my small, but vibrant tax business.
