Growing with COLSA
JJ started as the Senior Program Manager for the Mobility Contract and was then asked to be the Midwest Regional Manager to manage contracts and BD efforts in the region. He has worked with COLSA for 10 years.
Along with his Midwest Regional Manager role, he manages all Business Development and Proposal requests that come into the Dayton office. The Dayton office also contributes to Requests for Information (RFIs), capabilities matrices, and writeups for proposals that are using the WL/WV Contract as documentation.
One Team, One Fight Mindset
JJ managed the transition plan for the AFLCMC/WL & WV contract in 2015. When COLSA won the contract, he was selected to run the Dayton Office and manage the AFLCMC/WL & WV contract soon after. He chose COLSA for the great opportunities to use his AFLCMC/WL experience to run a large contract.
His favorite part about working for COLSA are the people he gets to interact with.
“We all have a One Team, One Fight mentality. The family environment brings us all together with a common goal… be the best company in the world.”
