Helping owners build companies that scale, thrive, and generate real freedom.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners who are brilliant operators, smart, driven, hardworking—yet still stuck in a business that relies on them for far too much.
I understand that feeling. I’ve seen it in manufacturers, software companies, service firms, and professional practices all over the world.

And I’ve spent my entire career helping them break out of it.

Because when you build a business that isn’t held together by the founder…but built to thrive?
Everything changes: revenue, cash flow, team performance, valuation—and your life.

Why I Do This Work

I grew up around great operators who were leaving money and opportunity on the table simply because they didn’t have the systems, clarity, or support they needed.
They were capable of more—but stuck in the day-to-day.

That feeling of being stuck stuckness” became the core problem I’ve spent decades solving.

I believe every owner deserves:

  • A business that runs without them
  • A team that executes
  • Cash flow they can rely on
  • Revenue growth grounded in positioning and pricing that actually work
  • A valuation that reflects the true potential of what they’ve built
  • A competitive advantage that justifies higher margin revenue and market share
  • Real options—scale, recapitalize, or sell—on their terms

Seeing an owner move from overwhelmed to confident is what drives me. Seeing a business become scalable and sellable is what fuels me. But watching a founder finally reclaim their time and freedom? That’s why I do this work.

Why Owners Trust Me

You don’t need another consultant giving abstract advice.

You need someone who understands operations inside and out—and can translate that into revenue, cash flow, and enterprise value.

My approach blends four disciplines:

1.

Operator-Grade Consulting

I’ve worked in and advised B2B and B2C companies for more than 30 years. I know where the margin is, where the risks hide, how customers actually buy, and what buyers truly reward.

2.

Expert Level Knowledge

I’ve developed deep industry experience and expertise in broad array of vertical markets, and industry domains. I am knowledgeable in best practices, industry benchmarks, market trends, and opportunities.

3.

Value Builder Methodology

As a Certified Value Builder Advisor, I focus on the proven drivers of valuation: recurring revenue, margin quality, SOPs, risk reduction, customer diversification, transferable systems, and a compelling story for acquirers.

4.

Behavior Change & Execution

Using NLP-informed coaching and simple execution systems—90-day sprints, 1-page scorecards, weekly rhythms—I help teams adopt habits that stick and owners build independence.

A Personal Note


I believe owners deserve more than a business that consumes every hour of their day.

They deserve clarity, options, and the freedom they started their company to achieve in the first place.

If you want a business that serves your life—and is positioned now for a successful exit later—you’re in the right place.If you want a business that serves your life—and is ready for any exit—you’re in the right place.
