Still in his mid-30s, Ash has quickly become one of the most active Republican political donors in Alabama at both the state and federal levels. His total donations over the last two election cycles rival anybody in the state, bar none.

His company, which almost exclusively employees former top tier operatives from the U.S. special forces, provides security services and training for both private clients and the U.S. government, as well as venture capital to early stage defense companies. That background garnered him an appointment by Gov. Robert Bentley to the Alabama Homeland Security Task Force.

Ash could see his influence increase in future years as he develops a state-level policy agenda and develops deeper relationships with other members of the business community.
