Well I am now back home in San Francisco after working in Ohio for the Obama campaign since June. It's great to be back with my wife, Jen and I am getting a lot of rest after working 16 hour long days.
I was working in Licking County, Ohio and was in charge of much of Newark as well as all of Hebron, Heath, and Hanover.
I'm so happy that Obama won the election. I've never been as motivated as I was working to get him elected President. We need fundamental change and Obama had the vision and the principles to get things done to move this country in the direction we all need.
I was not able to blog during my employment by the campaign, but now I am able to do so and will be writing more in the future.

About Me
- Matt
- Lima, Ohio, United States
- I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
