I bring the laser pointer.
About

You're not just hiring
a consultant. You're getting
an experience.

I'm deeply embedded in the proposal profession, not just working in it. From rebuilding the APMP NCA mentor-protégé program to speaking at national conferences, I bring both the technical expertise and the human insight that turns good proposals into lasting success.

I work the way the industry is moving, integrating AI early in the process to accelerate development and leaving your team more time to develop the specialized content that wins.

Fresh energy, current methodology, and a genuine investment in your long-term growth, not just this submission.

What I offer

Proposal support, built around you.

Every engagement is tailored.

Proposal Management
From kickoff to submission, I manage your entire proposal process. Coordinating contributors, enforcing compliance, keeping your team on schedule. Whether you're responding to a full RFP, a task order, or a sources sought, I bring the structure, the strategy, and the AI-integrated approach that gets you to a stronger proposal faster, leaving your team more time to develop the specialized content that wins.
IDIQ & GWAC Support
Getting onto a contract vehicle is competitive. I help contractors develop compelling on-ramp proposals and navigate the submission process for major IDIQs and GWACs across civilian, defense, and health agencies.
Repository & AI Readiness
Years of proposals, past performance, and institutional knowledge are your most valuable assets... if you can find them. I work with your team to build an organized, structured repository that makes that knowledge accessible today and AI-ready for tomorrow.
