What Liam does.
Communications work that turns a client's strategy into earned coverage and clear messaging, delivered to the right audience at the right time.
Speechwriting
From Cabinet-level addresses at HHS to floor statements for senior Members of Congress — speeches built around message discipline, voice authenticity, and audience-specific framing.
Rapid Response
Cabinet-level experience in getting it right and getting it out fast, the tempo required when a story breaks at 6:47 PM and the network needs a statement by 7:00.
Earned Media & Press Strategy
Working relationships with national and Hill-focused press built across three congressional offices and a Cabinet department, supporting placements, op-eds, and exclusives.
Rollout Strategy
Designing how a bill, position, or initiative reaches the public, with exclusives, surrogate outreach, social timing, and follow-on coverage planned as one integrated effort.
Official Spokesperson Work
On-the-record experience as a Congressional Communications Director: fielding press calls, drafting statements, and acting as the named source on official messaging for both legislative and campaign operations.
Social & Digital
Hands-on management of social and digital channels for a sitting Member of Congress, with platform-native skills built into the communications strategy rather than handled separately.
Education
Trained in writing & strategy.
Senior communications work rewards two things: the ability to write with clarity and the academic frameworks to think about persuasion systematically. Liam was trained in both, at Colgate University and Georgetown University.
Bachelor of Arts
Colgate University
Studied writing and political science, a strong foundation for a career in communications strategy.
Master's Degree
Georgetown University
Public Relations and Corporate Communications, a graduate program in strategic communication and public affairs.
