Our goal is simple: create a successful outcome for every client. Whether you've spent years building a business or you're taking the leap to buy one, this is one of the most important transactions you'll ever make — and we're here to guide you through every step, available seven days a week.

Business has always been a big part of my life. I run my family's high-volume deli & grocery in Westchester-New York, where we're open seven days a week from 7AM to 10PM. Running the business has given me a firsthand understanding of what it takes to operate a company—from managing employees and working with vendors to controlling costs, solving problems, and making decisions that keep the business moving forward. Before joining East Coast Business Brokers, I spent more than six years working on equipment CapEx projects, partnering with everyone from venture-backed startups to Fortune 5000 companies. I worked across industries including aerospace, biotechnology, beauty and cosmetics, packaging and material handling, robotics, industrial automation, and advanced manufacturing. Those experiences gave me firsthand exposure to how businesses evaluate capital investments, improve operations, and plan for long-term growth. Outside of business, I was a Division II collegiate soccer player. The discipline, preparation, teamwork, and accountability I developed through athletics continue to shape the way I approach both business and the relationships I build with clients. Today, I bring those experiences into my work as a Business Broker at East Coast Business Brokers. Whether you're buying a business, selling one, or simply exploring your options, my goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible while helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
