About the Company
Specializing in the sale and leasing of restaurants, bars and hospitality businesses throughout Northern California, I have been brokering restaurants and bars since 2008. My approach combines industry knowledge, hands-on representation and straightforward communication with a commitment to integrity, trust and results.
Restaurants and bars are unique businesses. Successfully selling or acquiring one requires understanding much more than an asking price. Financial performance, lease terms, occupancy costs, equipment, liquor licensing, staffing, concept, location and technology can all affect the value and outcome of a transaction.
I work closely with sellers to understand the business behind the numbers and properly position each opportunity for the market. With buyers, I focus on their experience, financial capabilities, concept and objectives to help determine whether an opportunity is the right fit.
My connection to the restaurant industry goes beyond brokerage. I grew up around two family-owned restaurants, an oyster bar and a golf course restaurant, and have remained closely connected to the industry throughout my career. I also have extensive experience with restaurant and bar POS systems, merchant services, payment processing and restaurant technology, providing an additional operational perspective to my brokerage services.
My philosophy is simple: communicate clearly, keep everyone informed, anticipate challenges and work toward solutions. I stay involved throughout the process, from valuation and marketing through negotiations, due diligence, escrow and closing.
Whether you are considering selling, buying or leasing a restaurant or bar, or simply want to better understand your options, I welcome the opportunity to talk.

Broker Biography
Introduction
Restaurant & Bar Business Broker | POS & Merchant Services Strategist
~Selling Restaurants & Bars Since 2008 — Brokerage Experience. Restaurant Technology Expertise. Real-World Results.
I have specialized in brokering restaurants and bars since 2008, with a focus on achieving results through experience, integrity, trust, and straightforward communication**.
I work closely with restaurant and bar owners through the entire sales process—from business valuation and positioning to marketing, buyer qualification, negotiations, due diligence, escrow, and closing. My goal is to keep both sellers and buyers informed throughout the transaction, work through challenges as they arise, and create a path toward a successful closing that works for everyone involved.
I believe the best results come from understanding the business behind the numbers. I take the time to learn what makes each restaurant or bar unique, understand the seller's objectives, and identify what a prospective buyer is really looking for. That knowledge helps me better position the business, qualify buyers, negotiate effectively, and solve the inevitable issues that come up during a transaction.
~Restaurant & Bar POS Resources & Strategy
In addition to business brokerage, I bring extensive experience with restaurant POS systems, merchant services, payment processing, and restaurant technology. This gives me another perspective when evaluating an operation and allows me to help restaurant and bar owners navigate POS options, processing costs, reporting, operational efficiency, and technology decisions.
~Restaurant & Bar POS Strategy — Helping operators choose technology that fits the business, not the other way around.
My connection to the restaurant industry is also personal. I grew up around two family-owned restaurants—an oyster bar and a golf course restaurant—which gave me an appreciation for the work, risk, and commitment that goes into owning and operating a hospitality business.
Whether you're considering selling a restaurant or bar, buying your next business, or evaluating your POS and payment-processing strategy, I'm always happy to have a conversation.
~Big or small, your business matters.**
