Adam Keller is our Director of Operations. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Jacksonville University in 2017 with a BA in Theatre and a Minor in Graphic Design. During his time in college, he not only served as the President of the University Student Government, but he led the College Republican chapter in the state-wide effort on campuses to deliver Florida to President Trump in 2016.

Shortly after graduating, he brought his ambition to the Stoneridge Group, and has since then ensured that production meets with the demands of successful campaigns. His unique engagement with contacts across the nation is what drives a campaign’s direct mail strategy through SRG. Adam’s command of organization and politics is owed to his background in theatre where chaos is celebrated and owned.

In his spare time, Adam spends time with his wife, Melinda, and cheering on Tampa Bay Buccaneer football.

Alec Sears began his career in politics during the 2016 cycle when he gained attention online as a commentator and writer. Working towards a Computer Science degree at the time, Alec had a leg up on the digital systems some in politics were late to adopting. He quickly joined a number of campus organizations and began training with Forge Leadership Network and the Leadership Institute. 

In 2017, after taking over day-to-day operations of a popular youth blog, Lone Conservative, Alec guided the organization into position as a farm team for mainstream publications. In 2018, he joined CRC Advisors and immediately got to work helping to confirm Justice Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Continuing on with the powerhouse firm, he led the digital efforts in 2020 to confirm Justice Barrett – all while recovering from a bad motorcycle accident. In 2021, Alec spent time at PLUS Communications, learning corporate and crisis contingency communications. During the 2022 cycle, Alec joined the RNC team and used his catchall digital skills to completely overhaul their social media presence. 

When he’s not tweeting, Alec enjoys playing competitive video games with his life-long friends. He hails from Dayton, Ohio and will talk for hours about the merits of Skyline Chili. His favorite music genre is indie rock, but is pretty much down with anything as long as it’s not country. Alec’s friends are generally unhappy with the fact that after his motorcycle accident left him unable to walk for an extended period of time, Alecpicked up Texas Hold ‘Em and regularly hosts a poker night where he kicks their butts. You can often find him reading any book he can get his hands on, enjoying great restaurants, cooking, watching exceptional movies, and traveling with his wife, Casey.

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA, I had a deep passion for art from a young age. I pursued a degree in my artistic talents and graduated from James Madison University with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2020, a significant accomplishment considering the pandemic.

As a passionate graphic designer, I am driven by the challenge of translating ideas into visually compelling designs. With a background in visual communication and a talent for problem-solving, I specialize in crafting innovative solutions across branding, digital media, web design, and beyond. In every project, I strive to unite creativity and functionality, crafting designs that not only engage audiences but also leave a lasting impression.

Outside work, I cherish moments with my family, friends, and furry companions, Sullivan, mini-Aussie doodled, and Salem, my long-haired tuxedo cat. Whether I am unwinding at the beach or attending local concerts, you’ll find me enjoying life’s simple pleasures!
