Most brokers have never owned the type of business they're selling. I'm different.

The Short Version:

I've spent the last 20+ years buying, building, operating, and selling service businesses, not just brokering them. I know what actually drives value in HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, cleaning, auto repair, and other blue-collar companies because I've been in the trenches myself.

When you work with me, you're not getting textbook theory. You're getting real-world experience from someone who's navigated the exact challenges you're facing.

The Longer Story:

I didn't start as a broker. I started as an operator.

Over the past two decades, I've owned and operated multiple service businesses. I've dealt with the sleepless nights wondering if payroll would clear. I've hired (and fired) employees. I've built systems from scratch. I've negotiated with suppliers, chased receivables, won contracts, and handled the daily chaos that comes with running a blue-collar business.

And then I've sold them.

I know what it's like to walk into a bank for an SBA loan. I know the anxiety of due diligence. I know what buyers actually scrutinize versus what they say they care about. I've been on both sides of the table—as a buyer and as a seller—which gives me a perspective most brokers simply don't have.

That experience is what I bring to every client.

Why I Became a Broker:

After successfully exiting my own businesses, other operators started asking me for advice. "How did you get that multiple?" "What did you do to prepare?" "How do I find the right buyer?"

I realized I could help more people by making this my focus. So I became a broker but not the typical kind. I specialize in blue-collar and service-based businesses because that's what I know inside and out.

What Makes Me Different:

I've Actually Done This
I'm not reading from a script or following a formula. I've lived the experience of building a business from the ground up, scaling it, and successfully exiting. That means I can spot value drivers and red flags that other brokers miss.

I Speak Your Language
When you tell me your top customer represents 30% of revenue, I don't just see a number—I understand the risk and how to mitigate it. When you say your business "runs itself," I know the right questions to ask to verify that. I get it because I've been there.

No BS, Just Honesty
I'll tell you if your business isn't ready to sell. I'll tell you if your valuation expectations are unrealistic. I'll tell you when to wait and when to move. My reputation is built on honest guidance, not quick commissions.

Service Business Specialist
I don't dabble in every industry. My focus is HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, auto repair, cleaning services, construction, and similar operations. I know these businesses intimately because I've operated them.

My Approach:

For Sellers:
I start by understanding where you are and where you want to be. Then I give you a realistic roadmap: what your business is worth, what buyers will scrutinize, and how to maximize your sale price. If you're not ready yet, I'll tell you. If you are, we move fast.

For Buyers:
I help you avoid the costly mistakes first-time (and even experienced) buyers make. I'll show you what realistic deals look like, help you structure financing, and connect you with opportunities that match your goals and capabilities.
