In 1985 he started his own consulting firm and, between 1986 and 1999, was also employed at The Keystone Center, a nationally-recognized nonprofit that creates “innovative consensus-building processes to improve public policy decisions.” He joined his good friend and colleague, Dennis Donald, to form The Osprey Group in 2000.
