"I would like to recommend Chris as an extremely effective grant writer. Earlier this year our workforce board contracted with him to pull together a submission for a multi-million dollar US Department of Labor grant solicitation. The grant application was very complex because it involved partners from three workforce boards, three community colleges, and several business organizations. Chris was able to provide our group with the structure that we needed to work together, clearly articulate our vision for the proposed program, and meet our deadlines. His organizational and writing skills were critical to the effort. Thanks in large part to Chris's good work, we received notice that we were awarded this very competitive grant."

He is open to feedback and willing to write collaboratively and with flexibility. It's incredibly refreshing to find someone with both a high degree of accomplishment and a balanced ego.

Chris and I have worked together on a variety of grant-related projects since the middle of 2013. Through his contracted grant writing services, he has helped me secure over $35M in federal funding for educational, healthcare and governmental entities in different areas of the Central U.S. Chris always strives to attain client satisfaction along with positive funding results, and he constantly exhibits many critical traits required to coordinate large grant projects and sustain a high success rate: hard worker, notable professionalism, great verbal and written communications, excellent attention to detail, and willingness to receive feedback on his work. For all this and more, I highly recommend Chris.
