A lesson in failed leadership
Byron takes a look at President Obama’s speech about the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.
Byron is a recent transplant to New York City. Before his move to the East Coast, he was a Texas boy. He grew up on a small ranch outside a tiny town in Central-Northwest Texas. While a student at The University of Texas at Austin, Byron got his first taste of politics through an internship with a Republican state senator. After graduating from UT in 2008, Byron worked for a large Republican fundraising/consulting firm that provided advice in new media, direct media, event planning, grassroots, speech writing, and television commercial content to clients that ranged from State Representatives, State Supreme Court Justices, and U.S. Congressmen. During the 2009 Texas Legislative session, Byron worked as a clerk in the Committee Coordinator’s office. Byron lives with his partner, Scott, and their dog, Bentley. In his free time he enjoys tennis, choral music, trips to the “bark park,” and supporting gay and lesbian Republican organizations.
