About
I've spent 30 years helping business owners grow their companies. Now I'm ready to run one of my own.
I'm an operator at heart. I've spent my career in the day-to-day of running businesses — the numbers, the people, the systems, and the plant floor.
Most recently, as COO of Handi Products, I helped grow the company from about $5M to $18M, improved margins, and brought three acquisitions into the fold.
Now I'm looking for one great business to lead for the long haul — building on what the owner created and taking care of the people who made it work.
