My 32 years in the military and aerospace, along with my Doctorate in Computer Science, ensure that you'll get expert help and an experienced, consultant, proofreader and editor for your project. A proven track record for on-time and on-budget delivery for projects ranging from 1 webpage to 200+ dissertation pages to proposals including: - technology assessments - technical edits - project proposal and documentation proofreading - academic editing - information source assessment - technical knowledge synthesis and prioritization - multiple winning proposals to defense agencies PROOFREADING My background as a Naval Aviator and Chief of Combat Operations in Air Operations Centers around the world, plus Joint Military Operations experience in Combatant Commands, has taught me the value of teamwork and collaboration when a project must be done right. Your team will benefit from my experience working with others in challenging international and domestic environments. Based on my 3 decades as a student, presenter, and teacher, I will proofread your materials more precisely than other proofreaders. You will be provided with a corrected document using Microsoft ‘Track Changes’. Changes and corrections will be easy to identify and you will decide whether you want to accept them or not. You will get a seasoned, knowledgeable set of "eyes on" to help you deliver your best to your customers leading to your desired outcomes. EDITING Being a creator and editor of responsive proposals, innovative videos, academic papers, and interactive technical demonstrations, I understand that your project must appeal to a variety of disciplines and speak to a wide range of experience in your customer set. My expertly honed skill and understanding of English grammar, sentence and document structure will make your written materials more concise, easy to understand and customer ready. Often times, when you understand the subject matter intimately, it can be difficult to translate that knowledge onto paper and make it understandable to your audience. Editing isn't just looking for spelling mistakes and punctuation errors, it is about improving and tightening your materials to make them better for your customer. My keen eye for detail and ability to make complex ideas easily comprehensible for the reader can help you overcome this hurdle and really connect with your target reader. My editing always matches your desired tone for the intended audience. I also understand the need for contextual accuracy. My personal passion for exponential technologies, science, life-long learning, geopolitics, science fiction, and small business creation mean your materials will benefit from my knowledge in these areas. This will help your team produce and optimize content and materials that will engage your customers and compel them to act. To ensure your material reflects your unique perspective, I welcome your input and changes as we go through the collaborative process. You're guaranteed a high standard of professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to getting your project done right. Quality communication and in-depth understanding of your project needs ensures a first rate collaboration from start to finish!
