Career
Timmy Teepell, a Baton Rouge native, was homeschooled by his mother in high school. After meeting Michael Farris—who The Times-Picayune called the "one of the fathers of the home-school movement"—Teepell joined Farris' lobbying group in Washington, D.C. Shortly thereafter, Teepell became executive director of Farris' Madison Project, a conservative PAC based in Virginia founded to support Christian conservatives.[1][2]
After his tenure at the Madison Project, Teepell served as deputy political director for the Republican National Committee until 2004.[1][3]

In 2007, Jindal ran for governor of Louisiana and Teepell was his campaign manager.[5] After Jindal's victory, Teepell became his chief of staff.[1]
Tepell was Jindal's gubernatorial re-election campaign manager in 2011 along with Matt M. Parker.[6][7] Shortly after Jindal's victory, Teepell left Jindal's office and became a partner at OnMessage, an Annapolis-based political consulting firm.[8][9] While at OnMessage, Teepell remained Jindal's political strategist.[10]
