He oversees the acquisition of technical and administrative services critical to incident coordination, recovery operations, and infrastructure resilience. His portfolio centers on consulting, software development, and systems integration contracts that enable FEMA’s operational readiness and interagency collaboration.

Each category accounts for 20% of his award activity, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and empower underrepresented businesses in critical national security functions. His approach aligns with FAR 19.5 and 19.15 guidelines, ensuring compliance while maximizing competition and innovation. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (management consulting), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 541519 (other computer-related services), underscoring his specialization in enterprise-level planning, software development for emergency systems, and integrated data solutions.
