Work
Everything I’m working on, in one place.
About
The short version.
I spent ten years on active duty in the Air Force, earned an MBA at NYU Stern, and worked four years at Microsoft, AWS, and HP. Today I advise government contractors on M&A.
In 2023 I acquired two landscaping companies and merged them. The business failed about eight months later. It’s the reason I started interviewing other buyers, and it shapes how I advise owners and acquirers today.
