About KLH Advisory LLC
Meet KLH Advisory LLC
While many firms boast large teams, KLH Advisory LLC is built on a different model—one that values personalized attention and direct engagement. When you work with me, you get my full expertise, insight, and hands-on approach every step of the way.
With a background that includes serving as a New Jersey Deputy Attorney General, Executive Director of a New Jersey professional licensing board, Island Heights Mayor, and CEO of the Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce, I bring a unique perspective to government affairs, stakeholder engagement, and community relations. My extensive network of relationships in municipalities, communities, and government in New Jersey enables me to help clients navigate complex landscapes and build the partnerships they need to succeed.
In addition to my decades of experience in public affairs and advocacy, I was a producer and host of both a public access television show and a radio program for many years, honing my ability to communicate effectively and connect with diverse audiences. On both platforms, I interviewed notable guests from all sectors, including governors, congressmen, leading scientists, healthcare experts, business and industry leaders, and New Jersey celebrities. I am also a Dale Carnegie Award winner in Human Relations and Public Speaking, a recognition of my ability to foster meaningful connections and articulate ideas with clarity and impact.
