Florida Virtual School (FLVS) is a fully accredited, statewide K-12 public school district. In 2000, FLVS began licensing courseware, technology, and instructional resources to schools and districts nationwide as FLVS Global. FLVS also began offering its Global School as a tuition-based online school. In 2022, FLVS unveiled FlexPoint Education Cloud® (FlexPoint®) as its national brand replacing FLVS Global. In 2023, FLVS announced that Global School is now FlexPoint Virtual School. FLVS reinvests revenue from FlexPoint into developing new digital courses and educational technologies.As the FlexPoint Proposal Manager, I produced compliant, competitive, and compelling bids for K-12 virtual learning solutions. I managed a wide range of processes which include: identifying bid opportunities; assessing bid alignment with RFP strategy; prioritizing bid resources; advising bid decisions based on scope, evaluation criteria, basis of award, and competitors; leading kick-offs and other cross-department meetings; producing proposal submissions; providing post-award reviews; analyzing bid results; and informing product strategy. To define our competitive landscape, I compiled in-depth competitor data and provides actionable information through deep-dive presentations focused on specific competitors. To enable cross-department collaboration, I created an online knowledge library with proposal and past performance content. To continuously improve our processes, I pursued automation and optimization opportunities.I joined FLVS as their Global Proposal Coordinator at the start of 2020. FLVS promoted me to Proposal Manager after I led bids worth >$6-million in revenue in my first full fiscal year with the school. For the 2020-21 school year, I surged bid production to rapidly respond to the pandemic-driven demand for K-12 online curriculum. Contract awards from those bids exceeded $5.5-million, including the first-ever Federal contract for FLVS.

FEMA's primary purpose is to coordinate disaster responses that have overwhelmed the resources of local and state authorities. FEMA programs include Public Assistance (PA) grants for debris removal, emergency protective measures, and public infrastructure restoration. PA is FEMA’s largest grant program.I joined FEMA after Hurricane Irma to develop PA grants for Florida applicants. The storm was a Type I Major Disaster which impacted every county in the state. I was a Task Force Leader for a team of Program Delivery Managers (PDMGs) assisting (46) applicants throughout Central Florida, from Palatka to Port St. Lucie. I coached and mentored the PDMGs, set performance objectives for them, tracked their projects, and resolved policy issues for the applicants. I also coordinated our projects with FEMA specialists in Environmental and Historic Preservation, Hazard Mitigation Assistance, and Insurance.I implemented FEMA’s new PA delivery model for the applicants and mastered the web-based Grants Manager tool for capturing damages, formulating projects, and transitioning grants to funds obligation. Using Grants Manager, I validated damage inventories totaling $100-million for (3) Counties, (25) municipalities, (4) utilities, (3) colleges, (6) Private Nonprofits, a Housing Authority, and a hospital. I supervised formulation of over (450) projects — (250) projects worth $27.8-million were obligated within (18) months of the storm and (70) additional projects advanced to Final Reviews by the State and applicants representing another $71.9-million. I also guided review and approval of (137) site inspections and Damage Description and Dimensions (DDD) documents.Leveraging 20+ years of Government contracts experience, I assessed applicant compliance with Federal requirements for Procurement Under Grants, including Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and Federal Acquisition Regulations. When required, I proposed remedies for applicant compliance issues.

PTP is a service-disabled veteran owned small business (SDVOSB). PTP’s core competencies evolved from leveraging IT enablers for knowledge management, such as SharePoint, with an emphasis on web-based Knowledge Portals and Portal Services. PTP’s capabilities expanded significantly after I left.After retiring from the Air Force, I joined PTP and performed a variety of functions. I created processes and tools from scratch for analyzing bid opportunities and informing engagement and capture strategies. I formed and led cross-functional proposal teams, which included teaming partners and consultants. I authored management plans and technical solutions for multiple responses to Government solicitations for professional services contracts. I led PTP’s successful bid for knowledge management services for the Army XVIII Airborne Corps, which was the firm’s first prime contract. I led PTP’s successful bid for a Navy SeaPort-e prime contract, which was the firm’s first multiple award contract. I also leveraged the SeaPort-e award to trigger the first government audit of the firm's accounting system; PTP’s successful DCAA audit confirmed their qualification for award of cost-reimbursement contracts. Post award, I implemented professional services contracts and task orders for Joint and Army customers. I was also the task manager for a software development team which devised a solution for automating the initial, data-heavy phases of the Military Decision Making Process.To expand PTP’s corporate capabilities and certifications, I pursued a Mentor-Protégé opportunity through the DoD Program. I co-authored PTP's Mentor-Protégé agreement for the Missile Defense Agency which was approved in record time. Upon completion of the program, PTP received the prestigious Nunn-Perry Award as recognition of their development and growth.

I was a Maintenance Officer, Support Commander, and Acquisition Corps member. Over the course of my career, I led aircraft and munitions maintenance units at the organizational, intermediate and depot levels and performed nuclear weapons duties in support of extended deterrence for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Along the way, I took advantage of a career-broadening opportunity to gain unique experience as a program manager in the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (now NGA). I subsequently applied that experience to multiple contract management roles, including Government Task Lead (GTL), Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) and Functional Commander for Performance-Based Contracts. I excelled in international environments while advising and working side-by-side with the Hellenic Air Force (HAF), the Italian Air Force (ItAF) and the Iraqi Air Force (IqAF). I served four times in Europe, including three squadron commander assignments. I deployed to the Balkans as the Director of Logistics and Support for an Air Expeditionary Wing. I also deployed to Baghdad as an Aircraft Maintenance Advisor. There, I helped Iraqi Air Staff senior officers deal with the rapid growth in their new Air Force. Late in my career, I supervised joint operational testing for Command and Control & Combat Support (C2&CS) systems at the Air Force Operational Test & Evaluation Center. I completed my Air Force career working for the Assistant Chief of Staff, Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration (AF/A10) at the Pentagon, where I led assessments of Nuclear Enterprise health for senior leaders.

I completed my military career as a staff officer at the Pentagon where I set up a new Air Force Headquarters branch, tasked with analyzing the health of the Nuclear Enterprise and producing assessments for the Secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force Chief of Staff. I leveraged government auditors (Air Force Audit Agency) and a global policy think tank (RAND Corporation) to independently assess nuclear weapons management initiatives. I orchestrated early involvement by the Assessments Division (AF/A10-A) in the 2012 update of the Air Force Strategic Plan. I oversaw development of a decision support tool enabling decision-quality analysis of progress towards achieving Air Force Strategic Plan goals and objectives and overall Nuclear Enterprise health. I assisted with coordinating the inaugural Air Force nuclear war game specifically designed to produce courses-of-action for strategic planners — this was the first in a series of war games which answered the Air Force Chief of Staff vector to revitalize deterrence thinking. As a sustainment subject matter expert, I validated results from the Chief of Staff-directed annual assessments of nuclear sustainment. Additionally, I codified the Headquarters processes for capturing the findings from these assessments and tracking the development and implementation of counter-measures at the Enterprise level.

I worked side-by-side with the Iraqi Air Staff in Baghdad on acquisition and sustainment of aircraft and support equipment for their new Air Force and served as Chief-of-Staff for a 21-member USAF and RAF advisor team for the Iraqi Air Staff. I mentored Iraqi officers through rapid growth in their new Air Force — maintenance capacity increased by 50% over seven months and weekly sorties surged 1000%. I managed sustainment of Iraqi rotary-wing aircraft as Government Task Lead (GTL) for U.S.-funded Contractor Logistics Support (CLS). In that role, I set up and managed supply chains for U.S. and Russian manufactured parts and assemblies. I also advised the Iraqi Air Staff on execution of their CLS contract as part of their C-130 foreign military sales package from the U.S., and I assisted them with developing CLS requirements for the rest of their fixed-wing aircraft. The capstone of my time in Iraq was my collaboration with Iraqi Air Staff officers to codify their acquisition, maintenance, and training plans in a single, integrated Sustainment Roadmap, which became the cornerstone of their long-range plans.
