About T & C Trust

Helping organizations decide whether a government opportunity is worth pursuing.

Government contracting can look straightforward from the outside. In reality, it requires structure, documentation, and clear expectations.

T & C Trust exists to help organizations evaluate opportunities realistically before committing time, resources, and reputation to a contract pursuit.

Why This Work Exists

Over the years, I watched many capable organizations pursue government contracts with strong intentions but unrealistic expectations.

Often the issue was not capability. It was misunderstanding how government work actually functions — the documentation, the pace of decisions, the structure of accountability, and the operational realities that come with public sector environments.

T & C Trust was created to provide a thoughtful outside perspective before companies commit time and resources to that process.

He served as Deputy Director of the VA Enterprise Command Center, where large-scale coordination and operational accountability were part of everyday work.

That experience provides a practical understanding of how government environments function and what contractors encounter once work begins.

A Practical Perspective on Government Contracting

Government contracting can be rewarding work when approached with realistic expectations and solid preparation.

It is also very different from commercial business environments. The pace, the documentation, and the accountability structures require a different mindset.

My role is to help organizations pause, evaluate the situation clearly, and move forward with better information.

Sometimes that means pursuing the opportunity.

Sometimes it means recognizing that the timing or structure may not be right yet.

Either way, clarity is valuable.
