Ready to Build Something Real Together
I'm looking to acquire a business that's already doing things right. One where the foundation is solid, the customers are loyal, and the team cares about their work. I'm not here to strip it down for a quick flip. I want to take what you've built, honor it, and prove that it can thrive under someone who values people over spreadsheets. If you're looking for a buyer who will protect what you've created while building something sustainable, let's talk.
Why I'm the Right Buyer
I've spent years in corporate America at PayPal, GEICO, USAA, and American Express. While I learned a lot, I also saw what's broken. The rigid hierarchies, the relentless focus on quarterly profits, the way people become numbers on a spreadsheet. I want to prove that you can run a profitable business without sacrificing the people who make it work. Where employees aren't just resources to be optimized, customer relationships are genuine, and success is measured in years, not quarters.

Business Philosophy
People Over Profit Margins
- Pay people fairly because turnover is expensive and demoralizing
- Invest in employee development, not constant replacement
- Treat employees like humans, not line items to optimize
Operational Stability
- Build systems that work consistently, not just efficiently
- Use data to make decisions, not to justify cutting corners
- Improve incrementally without disrupting what already works
Relationships Matter
- Loyal customers are more valuable than new acquisition targets
- Build trust through consistency, not marketing campaigns
- Reputation can't be faked, it's earned over time
Long-Term Thinking
- Growth is good, but not at the expense of quality or culture
- Reinvest profits into stability, not aggressive expansion
- Build something that lasts, not something to flip quickly
