About Gerald C. Fraas

I was born and raised in the rural Great Plains of the US (Nebraska, South Dakota), studied in the Deep South (Alabama), and have since continued my education in Berlin, Germany, focusing on Agriculture Economics and Policy from a transatlantic angle. Previously, I\'ve worked in US Public Policy in the Midwest (Nebraska, South Dakota), Deep South (Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia), and at a federal level (Washington, D.C, gov\'t and private sector). My skill set falls along an analytical line and an ability to make the counterintuitive of policy and public argumentation intuitive for my employer/clients. While studying, I continue my work through campaign support (at all levels, from strategy to making calls), information procurement/consolidation, and statistical analysis. I have unrestricted working ability in both the United States and European Union.
