Prior to his federal service, he also served as a Legislative Aide to then-State Representative Ron Tupa (D-Boulder) in the Colorado State House of Representatives.

While working on Capitol Hill, Rose advised Members of Congress on legislation pertaining to a broad spectrum of issues. Over the years, he was the principal advisor for matters related to appropriations, transportation, public utilities, telecommunications and the Internet, defense and veterans, foreign policy, government reform, and intellectual property.

He was the architect for numerous legislative victories. He included provisions in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) to benefit Colorado and the nation, including nearly $100 million of construction authorizations, an exemption to Federal Highway Administration regulations for a Colorado industry, and the establishment of the Intermodal Transportation Institute at the University of Denver and Mississippi State University. He fought for and won the inclusion of a provision creating a statutory copyright license for Internet radio in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a provision that has been credited with launching Internet broadcasting as we know it today. He authored and orchestrated House passage of the first anti-Spam legislation ever passed in Congress, and won the right for mobile satellite subscribers to continue to receive network satellite signals regardless of where they are located.

Rose also spearheaded efforts to include earmarks in the annual federal appropriations process for both Colorado and New Mexico. Responsible for every appropriations bill, he fought for and won funding for roads and highways, defense research and development, nonprofit organizations, schools and hospitals, public safety organizations, and energy, environmental and water projects, among others. He secured funding for projects of all sizes, from the roof replacement on a local theater to funding for the construction of interstate highway interchanges.

Since leaving public service, Rose has represented a wide variety of organizations, from a statewide residential and community services for at-risk youth organization in Minnesota to foreign nations. He has secured tens of millions of dollars for his clients through congressionally directed funding and hundreds of millions of dollars of benefits through authorizations and changes to the tax code.

He has represented governments seeking authorizations of and appropriations for projects related to transportation, water and sewer, law enforcement and public safety, and economic and cultural development. He has represented private industry seeking amendments to tax law, promulgation and amendment of regulations, and the adoption of new legislation. He has represented nonprofits seeking land exchanges with federal agencies, funding for programming and construction, and resolution of disputes with federal agencies. He has represented trade associations seeking relationship building, legislation monitoring, and crisis management. Rose has also provided general representation for clients concerned about broader policy debates or subject to federal scrutiny.

Rose has developed policy and messaging for several campaigns for local and federal elective offices, including serving as Policy Director and initiating the social media campaign for a United States Senate campaign in 2012. He was invited to join a group of "visionary educators, organizations and creative professionals" by the TED-ED Brain Trust (an effort to help shape and accelerate TED's push into the realm of education) as a founding member to help "guide, galvanize & ultimately lead the effort." He served on the Board of Trustees for two local private schools, and counsels education reformers on other school boards and education organizations.

Rose was born and raised in Colorado where he attended the University of Denver, graduating with a degree in Economics and minors in Philosophy and International Studies. He is married and has four children.
