Our foundation

I started this firm with a simple mission: to acquire and grow one great small businesses with care and long-term commitment, supporting my family and committing to the community along the way. 

15 years ago, I worked for myself flipping houses as a career break in the nonprofit sector, and found it immensely rewarding. I've admired the small business owners in communities ever since. 

In addition, I have 20 years in the nonprofit sector with broad experience in fundraising, marketing, management, program, and operations. I have led a team with a $20 million operational budget and 28 sites dispersed throughout the country with a staff size of 70. My focus has always been on leading teams and raising the bar by setting strategic vision. 

I am ready to build on my expertise and leadership by taking the reins of an existing business and continuing its great work. I see our firm also investing back into the community, financially and with our time. This is critically important to me. 

I bring a hands-on approach, operational experience, and a deep respect for what founders build over years or decades. I’m not a corporate buyer or a fund—I’m looking for one company to dedicate myself to for the long haul alongside my family and community.
