Broker Biography
Introduction
I started my career off as a salesman in the printing business where I worked for 26 years. Over the years I moved into executive management and my experience brought me to the realization that I wanted to own my own company – since then I have been the proud owner of three separate businesses. The experience and challenge of business ownership has directly impacted me and pushed me to be a great manager, co-worker, leader, husband, and father. Passionate about business, I believe, at its core, business is about trust and building strong relationships. I understand how Colorado treats its businesses and how I can treat them back - I am the hometown hero.
I'm a leading Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors—Rocky Mountain, which is a business brokerage firm that has achieved #1 status out of 200 global franchises for four years running. We offer services throughout Colorado, New Mexico & Wyoming and are currently the #1 business brokerage firm in the Rocky Mountain region. Over the past 7 years, our team has completed $110 million+ in transactions, worked directly with over 1,500 business owners, was involved with 250+ deals, and gave over 10,000 entrepreneurs guidance about buying and selling businesses.
I am a native of Colorado and live in Parker. In my free time, I love to play golf, tend to my garden and spend time with my wife and two kids.

I have spent the last 5+ years helping entrepreneurs buy and sell business under $20M in enterprise value. Prior to joining Transworld Business Advisors, I worked in several family-owned businesses allowing me to understand the unique joys and challenges facing entrepreneurs every day. During this time, I realized there was a need for investment banking level services for M&A in the lower middle market and decided to become a business broker. Along with my credentials as a CM&AA and CEPA, I also have a BA in Business Finance and am fluent in Spanish, having lived in Spain for over a decade. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our dog Aspen, road & mountain biking, playing soccer, skiing and traveling.

Before transitioning into business brokerage and M&A, I spent over a decade as the owner and operator of three health clubs in the Denver Metro Area, two of which I launched from the ground up, and one I acquired. Managing dozens of employees and contractors, overseeing complex leases and build-outs, and navigating a wide range of operational challenges taught me invaluable lessons along the way. In 2017, I was ready for a new chapter and engaged Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado to help facilitate the sale of my business. Following the successful transaction, I joined the Transworld team as a business broker, a role that felt like a natural progression. In 2022, I became an equity Partner in our Colorado office. If you're considering selling your business, I’d be happy to explore its value and what a tailored exit strategy could look like. Our team has guided hundreds of business owners through the process of valuation, preparation, and sale with clarity and confidence.
