Main Ascent: Entrepreneur Enthusiasts™ We have built a team of exceptionally talented brokers and advisors, with broad and deep experience and real-world insight. Our team has collectively owned, managed, bought, sold, and turned around large and small businesses, private and publicly owned, local and international, direct-to-consumer or business-to-business, from the trades to the professions, and across industrial, commercial, and white collar. I’ve been a coach more than half my life. First on the soccer field, helping athletes develop to the peak of their abilities. And since 2016 as a Business Coach, helping owners get unstuck and grow their business. I lead business owners the same way I coach athletes; we set aggressive goals, apply the appropriate processes, and hold them accountable to doing the work required. I’ve never been accused of not being direct enough – I give blunt feedback and help business owners build their ideal business through my coaching process. My work as a Broker and Advisor with Main Ascent is the next step in my journey to support entrepreneurs and serve small business owners at every stage of their journey. Whether that means starting, growing, buying, or selling a business. At Main Ascent I'm surrounded by talented individuals who work collaboratively and cooperatively to get the best possible outcome for any client. We are Entrepreneur Enthusiasts who want to see small business owners succeed.

Having been raised by a business attorney, I have been involved in the creation, operation, growth, and divestiture of businesses my entire life. Through my own entrepreneurial endeavors and experiences with large and small multinational corporations, I have gained the knowledge and insight needed to help sellers achieve the full potential of their businesses, help buyers understand the opportunities a new business can bring them, and help owners identify and act upon key business drivers to produce ongoing profitable results. I spent 25 years working in the natural resources and technology sectors in various capacities including Management, Business Development, Contract Negotiation, Marketing, Business Intelligence, Project Management, Finance & Accounting, and Strategic Planning. During this time, I had P&L responsibility for companies and/or regions with annual revenues ranging from $5M to $65M. This diverse experience in various domestic and international environments has provided me with a keen business acumen which I share with clients to promote their businesses and interests. I earned a BA in Marketing with a Spanish Minor from Utah State University and earned an MBA from the University of Phoenix. I am fluent in Spanish, and although I’ve lived in Utah, Texas, Arizona, Chile, and Ecuador, I currently live with my wife in Lakewood, Colorado.

An Entrepreneur Enthusiast dedicated to helping business owners get the most from their business. Whether looking to sell your business or grow your business, myself and the team I work with are here to be of service to you.
