For more than twenty years I have won work for clients as a proposal and grant writer: energy-sector bids, government RFPs, right-of-way documents, the pages where a wrong rate or a missing section costs the contract. I have worked for energy, right-of-way, fiber‑optic telecom and multi-state construction companies. I hold the APMP Practitioner certification and trained under national proposal consultant Lisa Rehurek in the Shipley and Lohfeld methods, the same discipline the largest federal contractors run.
My background as a writer began in marketing and later technical writing for big tech companies in the 2000s. Alongside the writing I had an interest in computer engineering, and six years ago, before the current AI wave, I started putting it to work on my own documents: extraction, checking, formatting, the parts of the craft a machine does without fatigue. Two years ago, language models made it practical to set up tools on a client’s own document history, and I built the end-to-end desk this site describes.
That desk has run in weekly production for more than eighteen months for a land-services firm under contract with a major electric utility. It has kept going through engineer turnover and rate-sheet changes, and across multiple awarded contracts.
I built it to improve my accuracy, raise approval rates and bring down the cost of each document for my clients. I still write. Every document that ships passes through my hands, and my signature is the last gate before release. If a document is wrong, the correction is mine to make, at no charge, by the next business day.
