Having served in local government for over a decade, Liam brings a wealth of government affairs, policy and community engagement experience to Fells Group. While at Baltimore City's Department of Transportation, Liam helped advance critical legislation through the Maryland General Assembly resulting in hundreds of millions of additional funds being earmarked to repair Baltimore's aging infrastructure.
