Barclay Resler, former VP of public affairs and government relations for the Coca-Cola Co., has moved to Ervin | Hill Strategy in D.C. as the defense lobbying and business development firm expands its focus to PA.

Resler retired in 2011 after 31 years at Coca-Cola, handling PA and government relations and based in D.C. since 1987.
He leads Ervin’s PA practice and handles communications and government relations assignments for clients.
Jim Ervin, an Air Force vet and Hill aide for the Pentagon under Defense Sec. Caspar Weinberger, is CEO of EHS. He said Resler had a lot of options and is pleased that Resler chose his firm “for the next chapter in what has been a very impressive career.”
A former fundraising “Ranger” for President George W. Bush, Resler earlier worked PA for the Aluminum Association and Car Manufacturers Institute.
Twenty-five-year-old Ervin | Hill re-branded from Ervin Technical Associates this month to reflect its move into PA and the hire of Dan Hill as president. Hill previously led the D.C. office aerospace company AugustaWestland and was a managing director at Chlopak, Leonard, Schecter & Associates.
