Analyst, Corporate Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions

I've taken my passion for food, faith, farming, and finance and turned it into an M&A and wealth management practice.

I help CPG founders like you craft a financial legacy worth living. Partnering with me ensures the financial confidence and personal fulfillment needed to shape a company aligned with your financial aspirations. Here's the roadmap:

1. Connect: We meet to understand your current situation, goals, history, and aspirations.

2. Plan: Our planning process leads to scenario planning, mapping out your financial journey.

3. Recommend: Drawing on 30 years in venture capital, investment banking, corporate finance, and wealth management, I tailor investing and financial recommendations to your needs.

4. Implement: We agree on a plan and move forward with its implementation.

5. Monitor: Regular check-ins ensure we stay on track, adjusting as needed.

With a wealth of experience covering startup to exit, I bring financial solutions for every growth stage. My sweet spot? Companies with $500k or more in sales.

As you build your company, consider the end game. One day, you'll sell, and your wealth—often 90% of your net worth—tied to the creativity and passion invested in your CPG venture deserves preservation. While no one starts a business solely to exit, the understanding is clear: financial rewards accompany the creation of something remarkable. Your efforts deserve recognition and lasting prosperity for generations to come.
