I bring decades of experience as both a business owner and a sales leader across multiple industries, including service, retail, franchise, technology, and financial services. Over the years I have started, built, and sold five of my own companies, where I have developed firsthand insight into what it truly takes to grow a business, manage employees, satisfy customers, and ultimately prepare a company for transition. In addition to my entrepreneurial background, I’ve led regional and national sales teams in highly competitive industries such as mortgage, technology, and financial services. These roles required me to master financial analysis, negotiation, marketing, and relationship management—skills that directly translate into helping my clients maximize value in a business sale or acquisition. Because I’ve been on both sides of the table, I understand the practical realities that owners face as well as what buyers are looking for. I know how to highlight the strengths of a business, identify opportunities for growth, and address concerns before they become obstacles in a transaction. I also recognize the personal side of selling or buying a business and work to ensure my clients feel supported and confident throughout the process. For business owners, my experience allows me to position your company in the best possible light, attract serious buyers, and manage the process from valuation through closing. For buyers, I bring the perspective of someone who has purchased and operated businesses myself, helping you evaluate opportunities not only on financial performance but also on long-term fit and sustainability. My goal is to make the process clear, professional, and rewarding for everyone involved by combining the perspective of a former business owner with the tools and resources of a professional intermediary.

Christopher has been a successful entrepreneur and operations manager for over 25 years. Beginning in the logistics arena he has found success in several roles including Field Supervision, Business Development (bidding and winning several multi-million dollar/multi-year contracts), and finally promoted to President of Transportation Operations overseeing the operation and profitability of 7 locations across 6 States. He was instrumental in growing this business from one terminal to seven remote terminals and 1,000,000 SF of warehouse. After success in the logistics arena Christopher moved into the business of Construction and Real Estate.
