Orville believes everyone is worthy of a conversation, so he focused his career on building community among the people of New Jersey around citizen engagement and social change. Before launching the People’s Lobbyist and developing Pragmatic Activism, he was a campaign manager for the Public Good Projects, leading major behavior change campaigns across the state. He also served as a public liaison for one of New Jersey’s longest-serving U.S. House of Representatives members. Orville is also an adjunct professor teaching Health Administration and Policy, Community Organizing and Health Advocacy, and Addressing Health Disparities using Social Justice at Montclair State University. Finally, he spent the last two years running focus groups and leadership development workshops for leaders across the country.
