Sampler previously served for two years as the President of the One Earth Future Foundation in Broomfield, 科罗拉多州.  There he led an international staff of over one hundred professionals in support of “peace through governance,” primarily in countries emerging from conflict; to include Somalia and Colombia.  He spent time in both countries as well as in regions of the world where governance was challenged, developing relationships with senior government officials, 当地公民领袖, and the international community.  在他任职期间, the foundation increased its operating budget by almost 80% and, 第一次, leveraged investments of roughly $1M to secure external funding of $12M.

Sampler testified under oath multiple times before both Senate and House Committees, and made numerous public appearances at think tanks across the country.  He has had op-eds published in the New York Times and other papers and has also, 有时, appeared on national and international news shows.
