Exit Factor of Folsom

Exit Planning Consultant | Business Broker | Marine Corps Veteran


As a Marine Corps Veteran and multi-business owner, I understand that a business is more than just an asset—it’s a legacy. My approach combines the strategic rigor of Exit Factor consulting with the transactional expertise of Murphy Business Sales.


While many brokers focus solely on the "For Sale" sign, I serve as a dedicated Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) to ensure my clients never leave money on the table. Through Exit Factor, I partner with owners 12–36 months before a sale to maximize SDE multiples and optimize operational efficiency. When the business is peak-ready, I leverage my role as a Business Broker to navigate the complexities of valuation, confidential marketing, and deal execution.


Whether you are looking to scale for a future windfall or are ready to transition today, my goal is to provide a clear, data-driven roadmap from your current valuation to your ultimate exit goal.
