About the Company

First Choice Business Brokers (FCBB) is one of the nation’s leading business brokerage and M&A firms, specializing in helping business owners confidentially sell their companies for maximum value. Established in 1994, FCBB has built a powerful national platform with over $15 billion in listed and managed transactions and a network spanning more than 100 territories across the United States.

We focus exclusively on Main Street and lower middle market businesses, providing owners with a proven, structured process designed to attract qualified buyers, protect confidentiality, and drive competitive offers. Our team acts as a professional intermediary from start to finish—handling valuation, buyer screening, negotiations, and closing—so owners can stay focused on running their business while we manage the sale.

What sets FCBB apart is the combination of national reach and local market expertise. Each listing is strategically marketed across multiple channels to reach a broad pool of vetted buyers, while our local advisors provide hands-on guidance tailored to your specific industry and market conditions.

Our goal is simple: maximize value, minimize disruption, and ensure a smooth, successful transition. Whether you’re planning an exit now or exploring your options, FCBB provides the insight, structure, and buyer access needed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Broker Biography

Introduction

I bring 15+ years of experience in business development, financial analysis, and transaction advisory to First Choice Business Brokers in Houston, where I lead the Sugar Land office. I work directly with business owners and qualified buyers to facilitate smooth, confidential transactions that maximize value and align with each party’s goals.

My background includes roles with Parsons Corporation, the UK Department for International Trade, and Booz Allen Hamilton, where I supported transactions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars across industries including energy, infrastructure, technology, and professional services. Today, I apply that experience to help small and mid-sized business owners successfully exit, and to help buyers identify, evaluate, and acquire the right opportunities.

Whether you're considering selling or actively looking to acquire, my approach is straightforward: provide clear guidance, maintain strict confidentiality, and drive successful outcomes from initial valuation through closing.
