1 person has recommended Gregory A.

"I have been honored to know Greg Garrett for over 20 years. He is one of the very few legitimate acquisition

"experts" in this business. He is a prolific author and outstanding lecturer/speaker and he has a unique ability

to take a complex subject and make it easily understandable to his audience or a reader of his books. There

are less than a handful of individuals who I would readily acknowledge as knowing more about Government

contracting than I do- Greg is one of those people. He is simply the best there is, bar none."
