About Me

I'm originally from a small town 100kms west of Ottawa.  I have degrees in Political Science as well as Law.  I've taken courses to reach level 3 of the former CGA program. I've held a LEED GA designation, and currently hold a Project Management Professional designation (PMP) from the Project Management Institute (PMI), as well as a Certified Foundation level designation (CF-APMP) from the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP). I'm a natural writer, so this combination of education and experience led me to this!

Top tier full-cycle Secret-cleared Senior Proposal Writer / Manager, C-Suite Proposal Advisor, Business Development Manager, Compliance Specialist, Professional Writer (Technical, Grants, Business Cases, Ghost Writer), Editor, Procurement/RFP Writer, and Program Evaluations. I find opportunities via my proprietary database of 350+ procurement sites, read the RFP & amendments, create the proposal skeleton, engage the SME's, author multiple sections, compile certifications & signatures, quality control, print, bind, deliver, and follow-up. Specialist in TSPS, THS, TBIPS, SBIPS, ProServices, PASS, etc.

Proposal topics; SAP, project management, human resources, engineering, construction, design-build, environment, sustainability, change management, business transformation, cost-estimating, survey, Indigenous affairs, IT, Telecommunications / Cellular, Cloud, IaaS, Data Centres, Public Private Partnerships ( P3 / PPP ), risk management, real property / real estate, GIS, planning, translation, communications, training, audit, military armament, and more.

I have spearheaded up to 37 proposals simultaneously. That equates to a professional with the innate ability to manage stress since your working life is a string of never-ending concurrent deadlines. It requires a meticulous & tenacious nature to read hundreds of pages of highly technical documents and distill that to a compliant winning response.

I have been responsible in part and in whole for over 2,400 public sector proposals, winning over $500 million in consulting revenue, and over $17.5 BILLION in past/current/upcoming construction costs!

I am fully versed in the management of Public Sector contracts, Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements. In addition, my financial background enables me to prepare pricing options for proposals, as price is often the deciding factor! Lastly, I've never missed a deadline!  

I have been published dozens of times in newspapers, and Reader’s Digest. I hope to E-publish my first novel soon, while writing 5 others. Topics range from horror, to horror-sci-fi, comedy sci-fi, drama, children/tween fantasy, and semi-autobiography.
