Broker Biography
Introduction
Business ownership has always been more than a career to me. It is a way to create opportunity, serve others, and build something that lasts.
After graduating from Kansas State University and beginning my career as a financial analyst, I developed a strong appreciation for how financial decisions, operations, and strategic planning drive business success. That analytical foundation, combined with the experience of owning and operating a successful service business, has given me firsthand insight into both the financial and personal challenges business owners face.
After experiencing firsthand the rewards and challenges of business ownership, I developed a passion for helping other entrepreneurs maximize the value of what they have worked so hard to build. That passion ultimately led me to found Summit M&A, where my mission is to help business owners navigate one of the most significant decisions of their lives with honesty, professionalism, and integrity.
As both an advisor and an active business owner, I understand transactions from both sides of the table. I do not just analyze businesses. I evaluate them the same way I would if I were investing my own capital. That perspective allows me to provide practical, real-world advice that goes beyond simply getting a deal to closing.
Whether advising owners preparing for retirement, representing buyers pursuing strategic acquisitions, or helping families develop succession plans, I believe every transaction deserves careful planning, transparent communication, and unwavering ethical standards.
I understand that selling a business is not simply a financial event. It is often the culmination of decades of hard work, sacrifice, and commitment. My role is to protect that legacy while helping clients achieve the best possible outcome.
At Summit M&A, relationships come before transactions. I take pride in being responsive, detail-oriented, and committed to earning my clients' trust through hard work and thoughtful advice. My goal is not simply to close deals. It is to become a trusted advisor that business owners can rely on throughout every stage of ownership.
When I am not working with clients or operating my businesses, you will most likely find me on the lake fishing, spending time traveling with my family, or in the garage working on project cars. Those hobbies remind me that the best things in life, and in business, are built through patience, persistence, and a willingness to put in the work.
My goal is not simply to help clients close transactions. It is to build lasting relationships and become a trusted resource throughout every stage of business ownership. I would be honored to earn your trust and help you navigate your next chapter.
Services Provided
At Summit M&A, we provide personalized advisory services for business owners and entrepreneurs through every stage of the business lifecycle. Whether you're preparing to sell, planning for retirement, growing through acquisition, or simply exploring your options, we're here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Business Sales
Selling a business requires far more than listing it for sale. We help owners prepare their business for market, determine a realistic valuation, confidentially market the opportunity, qualify buyers, negotiate favorable terms, coordinate due diligence, and manage the transaction through closing. Our goal is to maximize value while protecting the legacy you've built.
Buy-Side Representation
Finding the right business can be challenging. We work closely with buyers to identify acquisition opportunities, evaluate businesses, perform financial analysis, negotiate purchase terms, and guide the transaction from initial search to successful acquisition.
Business Valuations
Understanding what your business is worth is critical whether you're considering a sale, succession plan, partnership buyout, or strategic growth. We provide valuation guidance based on financial performance, industry trends, market conditions, and comparable transactions to help you make informed decisions.
Exit Planning
The best exits are planned years before a business is sold. We help owners identify opportunities to increase business value, improve operational readiness, reduce transaction risk, and prepare for a successful transition whenever the time is right.
Succession Planning
Every business owner eventually transitions their company—whether to family members, employees, partners, or an outside buyer. We help develop thoughtful succession strategies that preserve business continuity while aligning with your financial and personal goals.
