Defense Advisory · USSOCOM & DoW Procurement

The hard part is rarely the technology. It's getting it fielded.

I help defense-technology companies move from prototype to procured, fielded capability across USSOCOM and the Department of War. As a 20-year Navy SEAL officer who has led at every altitude, from small teams in combat and training partner-nation forces to building and resourcing organizations across the SOF enterprise, I bring the perspective most companies lack: the end user's and the program office's, plus the network to reach the people who own the problem.

What I Deliver

Moving capability to contract.

Drawn from real engagements, built to de-risk the path from a promising capability to a funded, fielded program.

01

Business Development & Capture

New defense opportunities across SOCOM, Army, Air Force, and the Marine Corps, from first contact to capture strategy.

02

SOF Network Engagement

Warm introductions and showcase / demo placement inside the special-operations community. The right door, the right message, the right time.

03

Capability Positioning & Requirements Shaping

Translate a technical capability into mission value and operational fit the buyer can act on: narrative, operator feedback, requirements input.

04

Procurement & Acquisition Navigation

Map the path from RFI and sources-sought to OTA, SBIR, and program of record, with a POM / budget lens and realistic adoption pathways.

05

Operator Feedback & Concept Refinement

Ground-truth assessment of mission value and operational fit from the end user's seat, before the buyer ever sees it.

06

Leadership & Risk Advisory

Operational risk assessment, org design, and executive advisory grounded in two decades of high-consequence decisions.
