Vision
I envision a future where your organization excels in business development, forms strategic partnerships, and consistently secures high-value contracts. Together, we will drive growth, foster innovation, and achieve enduring success in both government and commercial markets.
I’ve spent over 35 years leading teams, solving complex challenges, and driving business growth—with the last 10 years dedicated to the federal contracting space. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with Fortune 50/100 companies, small defense contractors, and government agencies, helping them navigate the complexities of government contracting and secure over $269 million in contracts.
What drives me is the challenge of simplifying complex systems. I enjoy helping businesses develop winning strategies, refine processes, and position themselves for long-term success. My approach is built on integrity, adaptability, and results—because in high-pressure environments, decisive action and strategic execution make all the difference.
I thrive in fast-paced, high-OPTEMPO environments and believe in continuous learning, collaboration, and staying ahead of industry trends. My goal? To empower businesses with the tools, strategies, and insights they need to compete and win in the federal market with confidence.

I’m a retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (SFC) with a 20-year career and seven deployments in service to our country. My military experience instilled in me a mission-focused, results-driven approach—qualities I now bring to the business world. Leading teams in high-pressure environments taught me how to manage complex operations, adapt to shifting conditions, and make decisive, strategic decisions under pressure.
