Broker Biography
Introduction
In my early career, I founded and scaled a medical billing company that evolved into a physician practice management firm. After exiting that business, I became a licensed business broker and transitioned into mergers and acquisitions, representing founders and owners through complex sale processes.
Since then, I’ve advised on and closed over 150 transactions across a wide range of industries, giving me firsthand insight into how buyers think, how deals break, and what ultimately drives successful outcomes.
I believe every exit starts with a benchmark. Whether you’re planning to sell now, in six months, or several years out, the most successful exits begin with clear strategy, realistic valuation expectations, and alignment on goals. My advisory work includes:
- Accurate, deal-tested business valuations grounded in real transaction data, not theory
- Exit strategy planning with financial and tax considerations
- Identification of key value drivers and buyer objections before going to market
- Pre-sale cleanup recommendations designed to maximize valuation
- Full or partial sale advisory, including equity rollovers and seller participation
- Strategic buyer and investor introductions, including domestic and international groups
- Negotiation and closing support for complex M&A transactions
Every engagement is confidential. Every strategy is intentional. I work hands-on with each client from initial positioning through due diligence and closing. No two businesses are the same, and understanding what makes your business unique is what allows me to structure and execute an exit that delivers the best possible outcome.
Services Provided
I work with founders and business owners across a wide range of industries, including B2B and professional services, software and SaaS, healthcare and medical billing, digital agencies, eCommerce brands, logistics and transportation, light manufacturing, and wholesale/distribution. Experience across these verticals allows me to anticipate buyer objections, identify value drivers, and structure deals that close.
My seller-first approach includes:
- Custom Business Valuation grounded in real-world transaction multiples, financial modeling, and current buyer behavior
- Strategic Go-To-Market Positioning that clearly communicates why your business is valuable and defensible
- Confidential Marketing & Buyer Outreach to vetted strategic buyers, operators, and investors across our global network
- Negotiation & Deal Structuring focused on optimizing price and terms, including cash at close, earn-outs, and seller financing
- Due Diligence & Closing Support with an emphasis on speed, accuracy, and minimizing last-minute surprises
