Some of his involvements include banking, movie production, and work in the US Navy. He also has had involvement in a massive project looking at climate change, which is quite a switch from the typical climate denial rhetoric seen from many rightwing politicians.
During the election campaign, he was an active member of Trump’s team as the campaign CEO.
