Building Value Through Strategic Acquisitions

Investor and business acquirer with hands-on experience across trades and commercial contracting. From construction and manufacturing to network infrastructure, I've advanced into leadership roles managing high-profile projects for Fortune 500 clients and luxury properties.

My approach is defined by leadership, adaptability, and creative problem-solving. I've operated with an owner's mindset throughout my career—managing budgets, P&L, and teams to deliver profitable results.

Today, I focus on acquiring businesses in home services and related industries where operational improvement and strategic growth create long-term value. I'm actively seeking to connect with business owners, investors, and M&A professionals for acquisition opportunities and strategic partnerships.

Investment Philosophy

I evaluate businesses through an operator's lens, not just a spreadsheet. With experience managing teams, P&L, and complex projects, I understand what it takes to deliver quality work profitably.

I target businesses with strong fundamentals—loyal customers, skilled teams, proven systems. The goal: acquire, optimize, and grow while maintaining the culture and relationships that drive success.
