“I had the pleasure of working with Cross-Sector Consulting on a major SLED (State, Local, and Education) project, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. They have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that state agencies face and brought forward tailored solutions that greatly enhanced the overall project delivery.
Their team provided invaluable insights, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our project from start to finish. Their expertise in navigating complex state processes helped us avoid common pitfalls, keeping the project on track and within budget. Their attention to detail, proactive communication, and commitment to achieving success were clear from day one.
Cross-Sector Consulting is an excellent partner for any state agency looking to improve project outcomes, and I highly recommend their services to any organization looking for reliable and expert support in the SLED sector.”
15 ½ years with the State of Nevada in the Departments of Health & Humans Services, and Corrections to include 3 of those years at the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange and 4 years with the Public Employees’ Benefits Program as their Executive Officer/Director appointed by the Governor.
From grant writing/managing to RFP development, contract negotiation, reporting, auditing, account management and funding requests/disbursements, I have worked with various federal agencies (DHHS, DHS, NASA, FEMA, DoD) since 2004 on the State Government side and then the Private Sector.
As a consultant, I have been selected and identified as a Chief Operating Officer, Vice President, Director of Business Development and Capture Manager with national large clients.
I will setup a process that reviews what has been done before, cross-references with mandates and emerging trends, and provide a framework to achieve the most optimal result adhering to all solicitation requirements unique to your location. We will build a project that identifies all stakeholders and ensures evaluation committees are comprehensive and diversified. We will develop industry-specific metrics for ROI, SLAs, and Performance Guarantees.
I will setup a process with you to create go/no go decisions early for efficiency, timelines with gates that guide the process, team identification for development and review, checklists for requirements, and if applicable, content development, final review and submission.
My process starts with identifying the TAM (Total Available Market) and then dividing it into categories that best correlate to your capabilities and past performance. From there I will identify gaps in current and desired states, profile potential customers/clients, and network with synergistic companies within the ecosystem to provide a comprehensive approach to business development. From there we work together to create a strategy that is unique to your business.
Whether I represent the government or the private sector in the relationship, my approach to account management is rooted in advocacy. I advocate on behalf of the buyer to the seller and the seller to the buyer to ensure a true partnership is maintained consistent with shared values and aligned goals. My personal goal is to be selected to publicly represent the buyer/seller with a successful program at national events showcasing the partnerships and solutions that create future demand. Ultimately, I want referenceable clients for all current/future solicitations to ensure growth.
Pending workload, I will accept smaller service contracts to support clients who may only need short-term support in a focused deliverable.
My standard hourly rate is $200/hour; however, most of my clients have opted for a negotiated retainer at discounted rates to keep their costs consistent each month of the contract. Ultimately, I charge an appropriate amount for the desired time and effort that is negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any inquiries or assistance.

Cross-Sector Consulting
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
