With more than 25 years of experience working on political campaigns, Michael’s straightforward and aggressive approach has won races from the coast to coast.

Michael and his wife, Beth, live in Louisville, Kentucky, where he spends his time with his two kids, Maddie and Charlie, cheering on his beloved University of Louisville Cardinals, and preventing Josh Bailey of SRG from using gimmicks in every mail piece.

As Stoneridge Group’s Senior Strategist, Joshua plays a critical role in the strategy, development, and execution of races from School Board to US Senate across the nation.

Joshua brings a decade of political experience in Georgia as a former legislative and state agency staffer, policy writer, lobbyist, pro-life activist, public speaker, and campaign consultant – bringing a comprehensive approach to strategy for every client he works with.

During his time in college, Donald started many conservative organizations and interned for Governor Brian Kemp. Following graduation Donald would run the Soo Hong for State House campaign, a standout campaign that outperformed most campaigns in Georgia. Donald began working in Public Relations, developing communications and public relations strategies for charities and nonprofits in America, Europe, and Asia.
