Who We Are

We’re a small team of highly-skilled web strategists and conversation engineers who collaborate with a select group of clients to help them communicate smarter and better amplify their message. We really enjoy our work.

David All

David All is the Internet. And he believes you are too. 

The shift of the World Wide Web to a place where real people spend a majority of their time persuaded David to start The David All Group, LLC (davidallgroup.com) in January 2007. At DAG, David works with a small team of highly-skilled web strategists and conversation engineers who collaborate with a select group of clients to help them communicate smarter and better amplify their message. DAG's diverse set of valued clients range from blue chip companies, to the Right kind of non-profits, to a limited set of Republican political organizations and candidates. 

David is the co-founder of Slatecard.com, called a "Facebook for Republican candidates" by Wired which is a utility to empower Republican grassroots activists. In 2007,  he started TechRepublican.com, a group blog focusing like a laser on the intersection of Republican politics and technology. Recently he launched RealWorldRepublicans.com with his extremely bright intern, Abby Alger, to provide a place for Generation Next voters to better understand what it actually means to be a Republican.  As his mom will tell you, he most often blogs at his personal blog DavidAllis.com.

When David grows up, he would like to be the mayor of the greatest city in America: Columbus, Ohio. In the meantime, he would like to get a French Bull Dog that he will name Pollock and make the mascot of DAG.

David was humbled to be named a Rising Star by Politics Magazine in June 2008 for his past and present efforts pushing and pulling Republicans to the modern world. In October 2008, he was honored to be named one of the "Top 10 Who Are Changing the World of Internet and Politics" by PoliticsOnline and the World e-democracy Forum in Paris, France.

To that end, he served as communications director for Congressman Jack Kingston (R-GA), the vice-chairman of the House Republican Conference, from 2004 to 2006. There he helped position Kingston as the “king of the blogosphere” on Capitol Hill; Kingston won the 2007 Golden Dot People’s Choice Award for being the 2006 Online Politician of the Year. He has also been a speechwriter for a U.S. Senator, a communications director for a Senate race, a campaign manager for a heated Congressional race, and a lifeguard. 

David will tell you that Republican political genius Lee Atwater is his political hero, that George W. Bush is still cool in his book, and that he was most inspired by Howard Dean's campaign manager Joe Trippi who got this whole Revolution started. David believes that the Internet will save politics (from itself) and, if he could have one wish granted, it would be to provide free high-speed Internet to everyone in the world.

David lives in downtown Washington, DC where he's often seen taking pictures with his Nikon D300 of friends, family, animals, buildings, and neat looking people that he meets along the way.

Joe Mansour

Joe Busy. Joe Branded.

Joe Mansour works at DAG as an Account Executive, but when Joe is not helping clients use the Internet effectively, he tries to master Guitar Hero. He also volunteers his time as the Manager of Operations for Slatecard.com, and is the Managing Editor of the blog TechRepublican.com where he writes regularly about the intersection of technology and politics. Joe speaks regularly on how organizations and campaigns can effectively use social networking sites to communicate and reach their supporters online.

Before coming to DAG, Joe worked on Mike Bouchard’s 2006 U.S. Senate campaign. On the campaign trail, Joe was involved in every aspect of the communications operation, and managed the campaign’s presence on social networking sites. He is officially the person to blame for pushing David onto Facebook.

Joe is a graduate of Kalamazoo College, where he studied international relations and Chinese. He led his school’s College Republican chapter, working to elect Republicans at the presidential, state, and local levels. As a member of student government he worked to improve the college’s use of technology by placing Wi-Fi hotspots across campus.

In the future Joe hopes to open up DAG’s China office so he can actually put his Chinese degree into practice. But for now Joe lives in Washington, DC where in his free time he is attempting to become more cultured by attending Shakespearean Theater; so far he's failing miserably.

Elizabeth Terrell

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is an Account Executive for DAG celebrating her tenth year in professional technology. While exploring her interest in technology and working professionally in the IT space, she partially funded her way through high school and college. She's continued her focus on the personal tech experience as a professional at the National Taxpayers Union and Foundation developing several print ads and logos including the logo concept for GovernmentBYTES.com, NTU's official blog and writing for this online portal as well as The American Spectator online edition.

While serving as an integral member of the NTU Foundation's (NTUF's) expert research team, Elizabeth Terrell helped generate the accurate and up-to-date information NTU/F stakeholders demand. Using her Economics B.S. to fuel the research at the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, Terrell further developed her excellent investigative skills to unearth legislative cost estimates for NTUF's BillTally program.

Terrell worked on her first political campaign at the age of 14 and immediately thereafter was appointed to the Page Corps of the Virginia House of Delegates. She was the site administrator for University of Mary Washington's Legislative Action Commitee, volunteering on several voter drives and monitoring campus relations with State and local government groups and rowed for the Mary Washington Crew. The pinnacle of her undergraduate academic career came with the presentation and publication of "Aggregate Reflections of Brand Loyalty" in Elon University's undergraduate student journal, Issues in Political Economy.

Terrell also served as a Development Intern with the Virginia Housing Development Authority executing an MSA penetration study directly incorporated into the organization's five year plan 2003. She also includes an internship at the Summer Economics Institute at Collegiate School and participation in George Mason Unversity's Institute for Humane Studies "Liberty and Current Issues" seminar at Georgetown on her resume.

A designated Alumni Scholar, Terrell graduated from the University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, Virginia, with a B.S. in Economics. She is working closely with David to add more color to her bio. 

Katie Churchey

Katie.

Katie Churchey is a Midwest transplant from Cincinnati, Ohio. Katie claims to have been born a Reagan Republican and considers her parents the most influential members of the Grand Old Party. Alongside her Mom and Dad, Katie worked on President Bush's re-election campaign.

A 2004 graduate from Miami University of Ohio, Katie was a Mass Communications major with minor studies in Political Science and Spanish. She was a member of many on-campus groups, including the College Republicans in which she volunteered on Congressman John Boehner's campaign. Katie also co-hosted a weekly alternative-rock radio show with her good friend Lauren, which was broadcast live on the Internet and named one of the top ten campus radio shows by radiotime.com.

While at Miami, Katie was an intern for ESPN, lived in a house with 8 girls, and studied in London, England where she created an international advertising campaign for Frito Lay. Once you know Katie, it is clear she would offer her right arm to go back to college. (Fortunately for DAG, that's not an option.)

After graduation, Katie moved to Charleston, South Carolina where she worked for Elizabeth Lyle Gallery, CBS and FOX News. From 2006-2008 Katie lived in Lanikai, Hawaii where she served as Chief of Staff for Representative Corinne Ching (R-27). When she was able to break away from the Capitol and campaigning, Katie enjoyed Hawaii life by surfing, island-hopping, beach parties and watching NFL games at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings.

Katie loves media, politics, pop culture, communications and the internet, and is pleased that her job includes them all. When not glued to the Internet, Katie is glued to the tube watching the "news" or Project Runway. She also enjoys planning her Spring 2009 wedding, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. She lives in downtown Annapolis, Maryland.

Katie's short-term goal is to meet the President. Please contact her if you can make that possible.

Jordan Tuch

Jordan

Jordan is a senior at The George Washington University where he's majoring in marketing with a minor in sociology. He grew up just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, but some how came out a Republican (yeah, we're scratching our heads too). Fortunately, he made it back to DC safely after a semester abroad in Barcelona, Spain where he traveled 13% of the world according to a Facebook application.

He's captivated by the role the Internet and different types of technology are playing in the political arena and is just excited to be a part of it all at DAG. He believes the Republicans need to start putting their footprint in the online community.

He joins the DAG team from an internship at Warner Music Group where he worked on marketing campaigns for a wide range of artists. Previously, Jordan held internships at King World Productions and Clear Channel Radio where he became interested in the way media influences our society.

Jordan is addicted to the TV show Lost. So naturally, he spends a fair amount of time looking up the latest theories (what does it all mean? What's with that island anyway?) He also enjoys playing basketball, golf, and soccer. 

Nicola Karras (Physically back at Yale, but working remotely)

DAGger Nicola

Nicola Karras is a geek, and she's surprisingly okay with that. A rising junior at Yale, she splits her time between classes, blogging, and the Party of the Right in a ratio that would probably disappoint her mother.

As a junior associate at DAG, Nicola has a great excuse to follow political news and analysis. She listens, writes, fiddles with hardware, and handles CRM integration. Somehow, she still finds time to contribute to TechRepublican, organize Slatecard volunteers, and teach herself CSS.

She's fascinated by the way blogs and social networking influence the media narrative. She's convinced that a thriving democracy needs communication and personal connection, and that the Internet is the best hope for American politics.

When she grows up (which she plans to avoid for as long as possible), she wants to surf the cutting edge of the conservative movement, or, failing that, become an astronaut.

Abby Alger (Coming back Spring 2009; at least we hope)


Ambitious Abby.

Abby Alger has always been a web geek and a political nerd. That's why she was excited to join the David All Group for summer 2008: she was able to combine her two passions and call it work.

Abby is a member of one of the least Republican generations in history. But she thinks that many people her age are Republicans; they just don't know it yet. So she writes for RealWorldRepublicans.com, a blog that she and David co-founded in June 2008. The goal of the blog is to make Republican policy issues specifically, and political news generally, relevant, interesting, and entertaining to teenagers and twenty-somethings. Check it out and let her know how she is doing.

Abby will graduate from Duke University in May 2009. There she majors in Public Policy and perusing old books in the library. She is heavily involved with Duke Debate and Inside Joke, a sketch comedy group. In her free time, Abby enjoys horseback riding and spending time anywhere that there are horses. Someday she will adopt a Thoroughbred from the racetrack. Or three. Or ten.
