As a staffer for U.S. Senator Kit Bond (R-MO), he met with Abramoff and other lobbyists in the Mariana Islands in November 2000. Abramoff charged the islands for this meeting. After leaving Bond to work as a lobbyist, Blackann went on a trip in Todd Boulanger's boat in the Chesapeake Bay.{{cite web|title=Jack of Clubs: Inner Circle of Abramoff, Delay, Blunt and the Boys|url=http://www.firedupmissouri.com/club_abramoff|date=2005-10-05|last=Mazur|first=Jeff|accessdate=2008-11-22|url-status=usurped|archiveurl=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20090216052051/http%3A//firedupmissouri.com/club_abramoff|archivedate=2009-02-16}}
