GovCon Capture & SBIR/STTR Consultant | Defense BD | RFP/RFQ, OTA, GSA

I help companies win government contracts and non-dilutive R&D funding - and I've helped clients secure over $60 million in technical grants and contracts doing it. I'm a Business Developer, Proposal Writer, and Capture Strategist. I work the whole lifecycle: finding the right opportunities, positioning you against the competition (if time allows), shaping the deal before the solicitation drops, and producing a compliant, compelling proposal that actually scores. What I bring: 12+ years across federal capture, SBIR/STTR, OTAs, and SLED contracting. I've supported 300+ SBIR/STTR submissions across DoD, DOE, NSF, and NASA, and I know the defense customers well: Air Force, Navy, Army, SOCOM, MDA, and the broader DoD ecosystem. I've worked with founders writing their first Phase I and with established companies scaling a federal portfolio. Early-stage startup to large prime. A differentiator most consultants don't offer I build custom bid-search systems tailored to each client, automated opportunity monitoring across SAM.gov, eBuy, agency CSOs/BAAs, and SBIR/STTR cycles, tuned to your NAICS, your tech, and your target agencies, so the right opportunities come to you instead of you chasing them. 🔍 Hire me for: ✅ SBIR/STTR strategy & submissions (DoD, DOE, NSF, NASA) ✅ Capture management (Federal, State, County, City, and Schools) ✅ Defense business development, teaming & positioning ✅ RFP / RFQ / RFI response support ✅ OTA and Phase III / sole-source strategy ✅ GSA Schedule consulting & post-award monetization (eOffer, eBuy, Advantage) ✅ Custom bid-search & opportunity-monitoring systems ✅ Government registrations & certifications (SAM, etc.) ✅ Proposal writing, compliance & color-team review ✅ Market research & positioning for public-sector buyers A bit about me: I've spent my career in B2G and B2B enterprise sales, federal capture, and SBIR/STTR, including building the U.S. arm of one of the larger international R&D consulting firms and leading sales for an AI-enabled federal capture platform. Whether you need a fractional capture manager, a proposal lead for one critical bid, or a defense growth strategist to open doors, that's me. Let's connect. Tell me what you're going after, and I'll tell you straight whether it's something I can help with.
