About:
I’m a Chesapeake Bay kid who, after sojourning in the transportation industry after university, finally found where I could put my degree in English and particular skillset to proper use. I first began supporting U.S. Federal healthcare grants through HRSA in the late ‘90s as a freelancer, and then writing the grants and proposals themselves, starting full-time in 2004. Since then, I’ve supported scores of organizations on hundreds of proposals both large and small, winning more than a billion dollars of total business.
