Hello and thanks for visiting!

I'm a lifelong entrepreneur, with many years of starting, operating and building companies. I enjoy working with owners to help them achieve their best outcomes, as well as helping advisors build their practices.

After my own exit, I became a certified business coach for a franchise on the east coast. I heard about CEPA in 2015 and traveled to Chicago to take the course and acquire the credential. I've launched several related initiatives since then that have helped me become known in the exit planning industry. (More info in Bio)

Please connect! Hope to see you at the Summit!
