EXCLUSIVE FEDERAL SECRETS SUMMIT
I’m hosting a virtual summit on Thursday, April 24th at 10 AM CST that addresses a persistent problem in innovation funding. The Exclusive Federal Secrets Summit brings together people who rarely share a forum:
- Federal agency representatives who evaluate SBIR/STTR proposals
- Prime contractors actively seeking small business partnerships
- Small business founders who’ve successfully navigated the system
As Boeing’s former SBIR Program Manager, I’ve observed that understanding the evaluation process is more determinative of success than the underlying technology quality. This asymmetry of information creates market inefficiencies that disadvantage first-time applicants.
What you’ll learn:
- Specific language patterns that trigger approval in SBIR reviews
- Pre-submission strategies that increased application success rates by 300%
- Partnership frameworks that appeal to prime contractors
- Which agencies have underutilized funding budgets this cycle

CARTAGENA FEST STEM+
I was honored to attend Colombia’s FIRST LEGO League (FLL) National Finals during Cartagena FEST STEM+ 2025, where I was the keynote speaker addressing: Science, Innovation and Education.
This incredible event, hosted by UNIMINUTO and the Alcaldía Mayor de Cartagena, brought together over 5,200 attendees, for a transformative experience in STEM+ learning.
As a city rich in history and culture, Cartagena was the epicenter of innovation from February 22-27, blending education, sustainability, and interactive experiences under the inspiring theme “Ciencia en la Ciudad”.
I also spoke at the Escuela Naval de Cadetes Almirante Padilla, engaging with future leaders in science and technology.
