I’m a dedicated Business Broker and Commercial Real Estate Agent specializing in the sale of restaurants, franchises, and small businesses throughout Northern California. I help business owners earn top dollar for their life’s work — while providing buyers with profitable, well-vetted opportunities to build wealth and independence. I make the process simple, efficient, and confidential. My clients trust me because I treat every business like my own investment — with care, honesty, and results-driven strategy.

A background rooted in technology, operations, and real-world business investment informs a strategic approach to advising entrepreneurs and business owners. Over 20 years of cross-functional experience shape a perspective that blends financial discipline, operational insight, and growth-focused thinking. Advisory work centers on supporting thoughtful decision-making—whether evaluating a business opportunity, strengthening internal systems, or aligning strategy with long-term goals. Particular focus is placed on sectors such as food, health, and retail, where nuanced market understanding and structured execution make a measurable impact. The goal is to offer clear, data-informed guidance that fosters sustainable growth—always with a commitment to meaningful outcomes, not just short-term results.

With a grounded presence and intentional approach, I guide business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs through one of the most important transitions of their lives, the sale or purchase of a business. My work is rooted in clarity, integrity, and connection. With over a decade of experience in business operations, sales, and real estate, I’ve come to understand that true success begins with deep listening, genuine curiosity, and an appreciation for the unique story behind every business. Each transaction is more than numbers; it’s about legacy, purpose, and the unfolding of a new chapter. At BizDepot Brokers, I align practical strategy with thoughtful guidance, ensuring that each client feels supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way. Whether you’re preparing to let go or ready to build something new, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
