I moved to the USA with my family in 1977 from Bogota, Colombia. My passion for working with small business owners can be traced back to helping my parents navigate the challenges of running and transitioning their own business to the U.S. Upon completing my studies in international Economics and Business Administration, I opened my own business, setting up computerized accounting systems and training business owners and their employees. After 20 years, I entered the business brokering world as a licensed Sales Agent with Transworld Business Advisors, where I greatly enjoy the integrity and quality of its leaders and members.
