15+ years in workforce development, not as an outside advisor, but running programs, managing career centers, and delivering technical assistance on federal grants. I've reviewed approximately 100 grant proposals for the U.S. Department of Labor and City of San Antonio, so I know what scores well from the review side of the table. I've provided technical assistance to state workforce agencies across five states on a joint Department of Labor and Department of Justice reentry grant. I've directed operations across 12+ career centers. And I've designed career development curriculum that reached 30,000+ learners across 121 training centers nationwide. I also build technology for this space. I've developed two AI-powered platforms, one for workforce case managers and one consumer-facing, using the Claude API, React, and Supabase. When I advise organizations on AI adoption or technology strategy, I'm not theorizing. I've built it. What I deliver: Technical Assistance for Federal Grantees: program design, performance improvement, compliance guidance, cross-agency coordination. Direct experience with DOL and DOJ grant programs. Curriculum and Training Development: custom course design, e-learning development (Adobe Captivate), train-the-trainer programs, workforce readiness and career pathways content. Grant Writing and Proposal Support: technical narrative, program design sections, logic models, budget justification. I know what scores well because I've sat on the review side. AI and Technology Strategy: needs assessments, platform evaluations, implementation roadmaps for workforce organizations exploring AI tools. Practical guidance from someone who builds in this space. Background: MPA, Arizona State University. Adjunct Professor, BYU-Idaho. National conference presenter. Flexible scheduling. Clear deliverables. I do the work, no team of subcontractors, no handoffs.

I write various products such as business plans, SEO on page content, blogs, technical papers, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and grant proposals for the cannabis industry and agriculture companies. I have worked with clients in CA, CO, OK, NJ and NY. I am a Kentucky hemp license holder who is planning a fiber hemp grow.
