How I Can Help You

I specialize in helping clients marketing their goods and services to the federal government. This includes becoming eligible for contracts and then marketing their goods and services to get federal contracts, subcontracts, contract negotiation, compliance, dispute resolution, and helping small businesses work confidently with federal agencies and protect their interests.

I bring more than 50 years of hands-on experience in government contracting. I have worked as a government lawyer, Director of Operations for a small business, government contracts instructor, and law firm partner. This background allows me to see federal contracting from both the government and business sides. My goal is to help small businesses understand the rules, avoid costly mistakes, and compete successfully in the federal marketplace.

I focus on making complex contract requirements clear and practical. I help business owners understand how decisions made early in the process affect performance, compliance, and long-term success. Whether you are new to federal contracting or looking to improve results, I provide straightforward guidance based on real-world experience.

What I Offer:

Government Contracting Guidance: Help securing, managing, and performing federal contracts while meeting compliance requirements.

Working with Federal Agencies: Practical advice for dealing with contracting officers and protecting past performance ratings.

Subcontracting & Teaming Agreements: Support with structuring agreements and resolving issues between primes and subcontractors.

Dispute Resolution & Negotiation: Guidance on claims, negotiations, and disputes to protect profits and business relationships.

Let’s Connect: If you want clear, experienced guidance to navigate federal contracts with confidence, I am ready to help.
