"Dino Dealz" If you are looking for a deal or want to make a deal.

With over 15 years of experience as a multidisciplinary advisor and consultant, I specialize in M&A, business brokerage, commercial real estate acquisitions, capital markets, PropTech, and FinTech. My primary focus is on empowering business owners, principals, entrepreneurs, existing companies, and private investors to successfully acquire or dispose of assets—including businesses, goodwill, and real property—and to effectively source or secure funding and equity, whether through traditional or non-traditional means. Before embarking on my journey as a consultant, I co-founded a tech startup in the AdTech space, where I gained firsthand experience in the challenges and opportunities of growing a business from the ground up. My earlier career includes a significant tenure at the Wounded Warrior Project from 2007 to 2010, where I served in a senior-level Business Development and Alliances role during the organization's formative years. This diverse background has equipped me with a unique perspective on both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. In addition to my professional expertise, I am a certified Wine Sommelier, which reflects my passion for the finer aspects of life and a commitment to continuous learning. As a proud US Veteran, I bring the discipline, leadership, and strategic thinking honed through my military service to every project and client I work with. Whether you're looking to navigate the complexities of a business transaction or seeking strategic advice on growth and investment, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your goals with integrity and excellence.

With a rich history as a former restaurant and hotel owner in Upstate New York, I bring a unique perspective and unparalleled expertise to the business brokerage industry. My journey in the hospitality sector, managing a 300-seat restaurant and a 20-room hotel, has endowed me with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by business owners in today's competitive landscape. Leveraging my firsthand experience in buying, developing, and selling businesses, I transitioned into business brokerage to assist others in navigating the complexities of the business transaction process. As a broker at HedgeStone Business Advisors, I specialize in helping clients achieve their strategic objectives, whether they are looking to buy, sell, or value their business.

Helping business owners buy, sell, and grow with confidence. I work with business owners and entrepreneurs who are ready for what’s next—whether that means selling a business they’ve built from the ground up, buying their first (or fifth) company, or simply getting the right strategy in place to grow. With many years of hands-on experience in business brokerage and advisory, I’ve helped clients across a range of industries navigate deals, make smart moves, and build stronger businesses. Over the years, I’ve helped clients across different industries find the right buyers, spot the right opportunities, and walk away with solid deals that benefit everyone involved. I believe in honest conversations, real-world strategy, and walking clients through the process step-by-step so they feel confident in every decision. Why me? Because I keep it real, I know this stuff inside out, and I care about making sure your next move is the right one—not just the fast one. No pressure, no jargon, just smart advice and hands-on support when you need it most. Let’s connect. Even if you’re just starting to explore your options, I’m happy to chat.

Business consultant specializing in helping entrepreneurs buy and sell businesses. With a Bachelor's in Accounting and a Master's in Taxation, I bring theory and experience to the table.
