Brian Kirwin is a Natural Born

World Shaker.

He is the agency's Government Relations expert and Political Consultant extraordinaire.

After graduating with Honors from Virginia Wesleyan College in 1991 with a

Mass Communication degree, Brian

honed his skills at a major international publishing firm, advertising agency, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association where he helped promote special events in Hampton Roads that raised more than $1 million dollars annually for three consecutive years.

His outstanding relationships with the media are key to his success, as well as the uncanny ability to take complex subjects and situations and sum them up in three brilliant sentences or less.

Brian's love and understanding of government relations and politics can be traced to his upbringing. His father's parents were Republican organizers while his mother's parents were Democratic officials. As soon as he could walk, Brian was handing out literature.

By 13, he was studying what emotionally moved people. Today he has more than 21 political campaigns under his belt at the local and state level and serves as a political consultant to some of the area's most powerful elected officials and business leaders.
