What if your next customer was the U.S. government?

For more than 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Montana entrepreneurs through economic development, commercial lending, and small business technical assistance.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

Businesses grow through relationships, connections, and opportunities.

That’s why I’m excited to continue that mission as a Government Contracting Advisor with Montana APEX. Many business owners assume government contracting is only for large corporations or defense contractors. In reality, government agencies purchase products and services from businesses just like yours every day.

Think about it…

☕ Coffee shops and caterers
🧹 Janitorial and cleaning companies
💻 IT and cybersecurity firms
📣 Marketing, communications, and graphic design agencies
🚜 Construction, excavation, and landscaping businesses
🏭 Manufacturers and machine shops
📊 Accountants, consultants, and professional service providers
🖨️ Printing, office supply, and promotional product companies
🚗 Automotive repair and fleet maintenance businesses

If your business provides a product or service, there’s a good chance a government agency is buying it.

My role is to help Montana businesses understand the process, identify opportunities, and build the relationships that can lead to new markets and long-term growth.

I’ve always believed that my greatest value is connecting people with opportunities they may not have known existed. Government contracting is another way to help Montana businesses grow, diversify, and succeed.

If you’ve ever wondered whether government contracting could be a fit for your business, let’s connect. I’d love to learn about your business and explore what’s possible.

Making connections. Creating opportunities. Growing Montana businesses.
