Reality Check

As we all know, the internet covers the gamut from truth to lies; and even the most trusted sources may at times fall prey to internal bias. In this regard, my felt responsibility is to give you an overview about me – essentially, an aid to help you assign relative merit to my analysis and perspectives. I hold dear the founding principles of this nation as embodied by the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. To preserve these grand ideals, I consider it our duty to stay informed and to draw conclusions with open eyes.

On a more pragmatic note, I currently have the privilege of working with a first-class team that supports Fortune 500 companies and small businesses in proposal responses to RFPs, with awards often in the multi-billions of dollars. In my  opinion, and with considerable emphasis on my highly talented and knowledgeable teammates; when you want the best, call on us. We take it personally, and we excel at helping you win. My academic background and work history include depth in writing, science, management and finance. Further details are available by selectively expanding the topic areas below.

The Lion will lie down with the Lamb

For me, and I am sure for many of you, a winding and at times rocky road has led to this Lion and the Lambmoment in time; and sometimes ambling down paths less traveled provides us with a measure of respite, enlightenment or even transcendence. Fortunately, signposts with virtues such as  truth, honor and  integrity help guide us on our way. Often, however, the signs are obscured and it takes scrutiny in the form of our discernment to accurately read them.

We pride ourselves on our inborn ability to think. Yet when we accept theory or lies as fact, we are more akin to beasts. Together, let us strive to lift the veil and elevate ourselves and those around us; and perhaps in so doing, we will help create a better world, a world where the lion might indeed lie down with the lamb.
