I joined Business Brokers of Arizona after more than 20 years working for major corporations in diverse industries including grocery retail, foodservice, specialty retail, dairy, and beverage sales. I spent several years in sales, marketing, and general management until eventually achieving an Executive Board level position with a National Specialty Retailer headquartered in Phoenix. I earned an MBA from The Red McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, and bring a solid combination of experience, professionalism, and financial expertise to every transaction. I also understand the needs of small business owners as me and my wife Jill own a successful small business. I also enjoy playing golf and spending time and traveling with my wife and two daughters. "I have a strong desire to help entrepreneurs and business owners achieve their goals and really enjoy putting together deals where everyone wins."

In the past year alone, I’ve helped Arizona business owners sell over $16 million worth of Tucson-based companies. I’ve been a trusted business advisor to entrepreneurs and CEOs since 2005, with one clear goal: To help business owners exit with freedom, confidence, and maximum value. Whether you’re a retiring owner looking for the right buyer — or a strategic buyer looking to grow through acquisition — I bring decades of experience to guide your next move. Real-World Experience You Can Trust: I’ve owned and exited multiple companies myself. My first business? A BBQ restaurant I opened while attending the University of Arizona in the 1980s. In the 1990s, I served as VP of Asian Operations for GlobeTech International, launching sites across Asia and growing revenue by over 1,000%. In 1999, I purchased a high-tech manufacturing company, scaled it into a global leader, and exited successfully in 2004. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to helping other business owners do the same. Strategy-Driven Business Brokerage: With over 30,000 hours of consulting experience, I specialize in strategic growth, exit planning, leadership development, and organizational restructuring — all focused on boosting business valuation and sale readiness. As a business broker with Business Brokers of Arizona, I use every skill in my toolkit to help clients sell well and transition wisely. In 2021, I published my book on Amazon, Your Business Coach in a Book: For the Entrepreneur who wants to be more, make and give back more, and exit with more. It’s now used by many of my clients as a guide to prepare their business for market. Reach out if you’d like a free copy. Local Roots, Global Experience: I hold a Business Degree from the University of Phoenix and a Master’s in Asian Studies from the University of San Francisco. Today, I live in Marana, AZ, with my fiancée Victoria. I’m a proud dad to five grown daughters and “Papa” to five grandkids. When I’m not advising clients, you’ll find me cooking, sailing, or exploring new countries.
