Broker Biography

Introduction

I have an MBA from the University of Michigan and am a former management consultant and private equity-backed company executive who advised CEOs of large corporations and private equity firms on growth strategy and investment decisions. I have always had a passion for entrepreneurship and created a startup to help potential franchise buyers by providing 100% free, expert franchise selection advice (based upon their unique skills, interests, and income goals) and then giving them an infusion of capital (up to $10k) after closing to "kickstart" their business. Most people think this value proposition sounds too good to be true, but there isn't a catch.
