Named a 'Rising Star' by Campaigns & Elections Magazine, and to Maverick PAC’s ‘Future 40’ list of conservative leaders, Dean has guided campaigns and candidates at the highest levels for nearly two decades.

​

Having consulted for the Republican National Committee, National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Congressional Leadership Fund, Dean most recently served as senior strategist at MAGA Inc, the chief super PAC tasked with electing President Donald Trump. In his capacity, Dean authored media strategies that produced national headlines, Sunday show talkers, and late-night show punchlines; most notably the ‘Pudding Fingers’ and ‘Zen’ ad series, which resulted in hundreds of millions of online engagements and earned tens of millions of dollars in earned media. 

​

His award-winning ads have been referred to as "brilliant" by Dispatch editor-in-chief, Jonah Goldberg, "disgustingly good" by New York Magazine, "instantly infamous" by Buzzfeed, and "genius" by conservative commentator Benny Johnson. His work has received national recognition from both the American Association of Political Consultants and Campaigns & Elections Magazine, for excellence in political advertising. 

​

Prior to founding Go Big Media in 2015, Dean worked on federal and statewide races in Virginia, Florida, Alabama, and Oregon, and served on Capitol Hill as communications director to Congressman Randy Forbes, and special assistant to Florida Governor Rick Scott.

​

A native of New Jersey, Dean has a degree in political science from the Catholic University of America, and resides with his wife, Caroline, in Washington, DC.
