About the Company

Thinking of Selling or Buying a Business? I Can Help.

I am a Certified Business Broker, a member of the California Association of Business Brokers and the International Business Brokers Association, and licensed by the California Department of Real Estate.

Broker Biography

Introduction

I bring a hands-on, operator-first approach to business brokerage, backed by a foundation in private equity and finance. I’ve personally bought, improved, and sold businesses, giving me a clear understanding of what drives value in real-world operations—not just on paper.

Currently, I own an event rental company that I acquired and have grown its value more than 5x since purchase. That experience allows me to work closely with sellers to identify opportunities, position their business effectively, and maximize value at exit.

I started my first business at 14, building and growing an eCommerce brand, and have since helped business owners improve profitability through both operational and marketing consulting. This perspective helps me present businesses in a way that resonates with today’s buyers.

I’m proud to be part of a brokerage with over 20 years of experience, combining deep industry knowledge with a modern, execution-focused approach.

As someone in the same age range as today’s most active buyers, I bring access to a strong network of qualified entrepreneurs actively looking to acquire businesses. I understand how buyers think and how to connect them with opportunities where they can successfully carry on the legacy a seller has built.

My goal is simple: help business owners exit on their terms while ensuring their business is positioned for continued success with the right next owner.

Services Provided

provide hands-on business brokerage services focused on helping local business owners and buyers navigate successful transactions with confidence.

For sellers, I offer full-service listing and representation, including pricing guidance, positioning, marketing, buyer screening, and negotiation support. I work closely with owners to prepare their business for market, highlight what makes it valuable, and connect them with qualified buyers.

If you’re not ready to sell yet, I also offer seller consulting to help improve profitability, streamline operations, and position your business for a stronger future exit.

For buyers, I provide personalized search and advisory services, helping you identify the right opportunities, evaluate financials, and navigate the process from first conversation to closing.

I also assist with deal structuring, due diligence, and navigating financing options.

With a strong focus on local, community-driven businesses, I understand the factors that drive real value—from reputation and customer base to operational efficiency. My approach is straightforward, strategic, and tailored to each client’s goals.
