I am a highly experienced professional with nearly two decades of work in the defense and federal policy sector. I am the President and Founder of Paddock & Associates, LLC, a non-partisan consulting agency based in Washington, DC. My expertise lies in providing strategic advice, policy analysis, and advocacy services to clients in the defense, homeland security, and small business domains. With a strong background in defense policy, acquisitions reform, and DoD funding matters, I have worked in the Federal Government for nearly 20 years. Additionally, I have served as a Professional Staff Member at the United States Senate Small Business Committee, where I expertly oversaw small business contracting, acquisitions, and entrepreneurship programs within the Small Business Administration. My extensive experience in national security, legislation, and policy analysis has helped me develop a unique perspective that allows me to navigate the complex and dynamic policy landscape of the Pentagon and Capitol Hill. My ultimate goal is to help clients achieve their goals and objectives by providing unparalleled support, guidance and expertise. I am particularly passionate about supporting and empowering small businesses, veterans, and minority-owned enterprises, and I am confident that my skills and experience make me the ideal partner for any organization looking to succeed in the federal policy arena..
