In 2014 I founded uCampaign, a platform that makes it easy for our clients to build powerful apps which engage their supporters and create a trove of valuable data for their wider digital and engagement efforts. uCampaign has powered the official smartphone app of over 50 organizations including the Republican National Committee, the UK Conservative Party, the National Rifle Association, Ted Cruz for President, Rand Paul for Senate and Donald J. Trump for President. In 2017 we expanded our global footprint to 12 countries and launched RumbleUp, the most advanced peer-to-peer (P2P) texting platform that makes it easy for clients to have 1-on-1 conversations at scale. RumbleUp has been adopted by over 150 clients in the past year who have sent tens of millions of text messages for get out the vote, fundraising, voter ID and persuasion, local and federal advocacy, driving event attendance and a dozen other use cases, including non-political use cases. For 7 years I authored one of the most popular Catholic blogs in the world, AmericanPapist.
