Before his role in Collins' office, Epplin served as a professional staffer at the Senate Finance Committee.  Between 1997 and 2009, he also handled tax and trade issues in the office of former Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Oregon.

Epplin has also served as an analyst at the Office of Management and Budget and as an aide in the Office of the Secretary at the Department of Education under Lamar Alexander.
