How I Can Help You

I have more than 25 years of experience in federal contracting, and I currently run a solo consulting practice advising small and medium sized companies about how to win work with the federal government.
I have a background in marketing and communications.
I am also aware of how to succeed in my career and my business without sacrificing the rest of my life. I hope I can help you find that sweet spot in your life.
I am functional (not fluent) in Spanish.
