"Growing up in rural Michigan profoundly shaped my character, instilling the belief that individuals must adeptly wear various hats. This principle became ingrained in my work ethic and insatiable thirst for knowledge. At just nine, I began delivering the local newspaper, laying the groundwork for entrepreneurial pursuits—establishing a landscaping company, weekend firewood sales, and engaging in construction. High school saw my wrestling prowess leading to academic excellence and a collegiate wrestling scholarship. Despite achievements, a deep-seated desire to serve my country persisted, leading me to a nine-year Navy SEAL career with deployments supporting the Global War on Terrorism.

An unforeseen turn came with career-ending injuries during a nighttime HAHO training jump, leading to medical retirement. Undeterred, I redirected my commitment, participating in Special Operations Forces non-profits and delving into federal contracting in Montana. Currently, I lead the Physical Security vertical at GovGig, contributing to the defense and infrastructure of our nation, and embodying a collective mission to impact our country, citizens, and veterans."

I’m Julia Keys, the Marketing Manager at GovGig, and my journey in the business and entrepreneurship realm is deeply rooted in my family’s legacy. The spark for my initial passion came from my grandfather, Herb Hyman, who founded the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in 1963. His visionary spirit has been a guiding inspiration in the early stages of my career.

My boundless love for business finds its purpose at GovGig, where I have the incredible opportunity to make a real impact. Each day, I connect with industry leaders, engaging in 15-20 meetings weekly. My clear focus is on showcasing GovGig’s software solution, addressing one of the industry’s most pressing challenges – the shortage of skilled talent.

I love working with the GovGig team and thrive in an environment where learning and adaptation are daily rituals. My mission at GovGig is my driving force. Through building connections, promoting GovGig’s innovative solutions, and contributing to the growth of the industrial base, I am committed to leaving a lasting impact on the landscape of business and the safety of our nation.

"As a third-generation individual in the electrical industry, my journey began in childhood, spending time in the shop and office. Despite early attempts at "coloring" contract drawings, my career started as a teenager doing various tasks, from sweeping floors to organizing job boxes.

In my early 20s, I moved to Navy Region Northwest, sparking my interest in federal construction contracting. Immersed in a new environment, I delved into learning from entities like NAFVAC, USACE, AFCEC, GSA, SBA, FAR, DFAR, MACC, MATOC, JOC, IDIQ, SABER, MILCON, CFR, UFGS, UFC, IBC, NEC, NESC, and NFPA, unlocking my career passion.

Specializing in Medium/High Voltage grid distribution systems, I find excitement in projects involving substations, switchgear, transformers, SCADA, ICS, PLC, and fiber. My competency spans various roles on federal construction projects.

Guided by principles such as hard work, integrity, and compassion, my passion extends to Native Sovereign Nations and other indigenous organizations. My relationship with the Hopi Nation has been particularly meaningful.

Elders, mentors, and colleagues have shaped me both professionally and personally, contributing to a 16-year career serving military service members and executing critical projects across the U.S. and internationally.

In 2019, Watermark Solutions emerged to address staffing challenges in federal construction. This led to GovGig's creation in 2020, aiming to provide a quick-to-mobilize network for emergent situations. GovGig tackles serious problems in federal contracting, offering opportunities to historically underserved groups.

With a team of experts, GovGig covers a wide range of federal contracting specialties. As the Founder and CEO, I am grateful to lead this incredible group, making a difference for tribes, small businesses, and veterans. GovGig is now a scalable model for accessing federal contracting professionals beyond one's home region."
