I build companies through acquisition—and exit them at scale. Over 20 years, I completed 11 acquisitions as an owner/operator and sold my company to a multi-billion-dollar strategic buyer. I don’t just advise on deals—I’ve lived them, structured them, financed them, and integrated them. As a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), I’ve completed hundreds of valuations and know how to price, structure, and close transactions that hold up in the real world. Most recently, as CFO/Chief Growth Officer, I helped scale a company from $9M to $80M in five years—driven primarily by acquisitions. Today, I work with business owners, investors, and private equity groups who are serious about: •Scaling through acquisition •Building platform companies •Executing successful exits If you’re looking for someone who brings a proven M&A playbook—and actually executes it—we should talk.

What is your business really worth in 2026? Truth #12 (the last Truth in our series) breaks it down: it’s not about what you think—it’s about what buyers can prove. In today’s M&A market, valuation is driven by clean financials, predictable revenue, and a business that runs without you. And even then, the number on paper isn’t the whole story—deal structure, risk, and terms often matter more than the headline price. If you’re planning an exit (even years out), preparation isn’t optional anymore—it’s the difference between a premium outcome and being passed over. 👉 Read Truth #12: zurl.co/sFUqj #BusinessOwners #ExitStrategy #BusinessValuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #SellYourBusiness

⚠️ Truth #10 About Selling a $5–$50M Business in 2026 Most owners believe buyers value a business based on earnings first. In reality, experienced buyers look at risk before earnings. They evaluate questions like: • How dependent is the business on the owner? • Are the financials consistent and defensible? • Is revenue predictable and diversified? • Are systems and processes documented? If buyers see uncertainty in any of these areas, they often discount the valuation—no matter how strong the profits appear. Risk directly impacts what buyers are willing to pay and how they structure the deal. 👉 Read Truth #10 here: zurl.co/092nj #BusinessOwners #SellingABusiness #ExitPlanning #BusinessValue #MergersAndAcquisitions #Entrepreneurship
