My Love Affair with Government Contracting

Have you ever fallen in love with something other than another person?  Let me tell you about my love affair with Government Contracting.

When I first discovered government contracting, I fell in love with it. Government Contracting is a seductive and lovely lady. She is a Goddess, mysterious and sexy, intoxicating and sobering, full of richness and yet so far from reach. I first met her in late 2007 through an introduction by a retired Army Lt. Colonel.  At first glance, I was mesmerized. She had stolen my attention and I was drunk in love. My heart skipped at the sight of her. She was beautiful and gorgeous. Her perfume smelled like money, to the tune of nearly $600 billion each year.

The more I got to know her, the more intrigued I became. She was complex and witty with great depth, filled with layers of regulations and legalese to keep me interested. It was easy for me to give my whole heart to her.

As our romance developed I saw the many lovers she had. She had captivated many before me and some found eternal bliss with her. Their love blossomed and their companies grew to multi-millions in sales. Others who were swept by her got lost along the way in the contracting maze. They under-estimated her complexities and never appreciated or became fond of how deep she really is. They were only attracted to her outer beauty and richness. They are the many that wanted a relationship with her but were left stranded, broken and destitute. I was determined not to be one of them.

I scoured over thousands of websites and read hundreds of articles about her. I spoke to her friends, contracting officers and program managers. I studied her roots and got to know her family. I traveled to see her in DC and around the country. The more I got to know her, the more intimate we became. The work and time I invested into our relationship didn’t seem hard, it was easy for me to give myself to her.

It is in this discovery journey that led me to become the founder of the Government Contractors Association (GCA). In the course of my relationship with this Goddess of Government Contracting, I have accessed more than $1 billion in contract wins for our members, clients, and my organizations.
