Tell us about your role/firm.

My passion is helping business owners sell their business. I also have the privilege of helping businesses and individuals navigate other complex situations like buying businesses, complying with employment laws, and negotiating contracts.

What are you currently focused on? 

I'm currently focused on tailoring my M&A practice to business owners looking to exit. While I do buy-side work, I've learned that my true passion is on the sell-side. Oftentimes, the sale of a business is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I enjoy helping sellers navigate that process and negotiate terms that can help protect them as they move into the next stage of their lives.

What have you gained from your ACG membership experience?

The coolest thing I've gained from my ACG membership experience is genuine friendship. I'm going fishing with a friend from ACG soon! I think it's rare to find camaraderie like that, and I'm glad to have it in ACG Orlando.

Favorite podcast, book, or TV show right now?  

My favorite book right now is Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss. If you enjoy negotiating, you will love this book. I use the techniques in this book every day. They work.
