Hampton Foushee

Matthew Foushee

Hampton Foushee was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he spent all 20 years of his life before attending college.  At Harvard, Hampton is a Government concentrator and a Senior Editor for the Harvard International Review.  During his first two years at Harvard, Hampton was a left-handed pitcher on the Harvard baseball team, where he once got the opportunity to pitch at Fenway Park against cross-town rival, Boston College.  Although Hampton retains his interest in international relations, he has since shifted his academic focus from comparative politics to American politics, as he greatly enjoys studying both politics and the policy-making process itself.  Last summer, Hampton worked as a government relations intern at Blank Rome, a Washington-based law and lobbying firm.  He hopes to build on both his academic interest in policy-making and his insatiable thirst for American politics during his summer at the Heritage Foundation.
