Broker Biography
Introduction
A little bit about myself.
I grew up with a father who started his first business as a paperboy in grade school. He found he enjoyed building and running a successful business. When I entered middle school, my father started a Heavy Equipment Manufacturing business building and selling rough terrain forklifts. My father believed in starting at the ground floor so this is literally where I started - by sweeping floors, cleaning, and organizing the shop.
When I entered high school, I was moved to the assembly line of the business. This is where I learned every aspect on building the heavy equipment. I was rotated from one station to another to learn how every piece went together and how it all worked to complete the product. After two years in assembly, I moved into the service and sales department. This is where I was able to meet with the actual customers of the equipment while providing onsite repairs or modifications to their equipment. I began traveling the country performing equipment demonstrations, and attending trade shows to walk perspective customers through the complete workings of the equipment - all at the age of 18. Through this experience I learned that everything matters - clean floors, an organized shop, where every screw, bolt, and wire work together, and most importantly, how to support your customer.
This is how I got the bug for wanting to own my own business.
I have since run and operated businesses that represent different markets including Retail/Wholesale Distribution, Light Manufacturing and Installation, as well as Hospitality owning a 125-acre campground. I have also worked in the corporate world selling technology for Billion-dollar companies selling and supporting fortune 500 customers selling them multi-million-dollar solutions their businesses relied on.
I have purchased, operated, and sold businesses now for over 30 years.
From experience we understand what it takes to put Sellers and Buyers together for successful collaboration to reach the common goal. We believe in the absolute requirement for privacy during this process. We also understand the emotional side for both the Seller and the Buyer as this will be for most, the largest transaction a person has ever made.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to review our company business site and reading through the information. If you feel that you are ready to sell your business, or you are ready to purchase a business, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Give us a call today, let us have a conversation and see if now is the right time to sell your business or possibly purchase your next success story.
Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you,
Russell Carriere
