From one owner-operator
to the next

You've spent years building your business. When the time comes to step back, you want to know it goes to someone who will protect your culture, take care of your team, and be there every day running it.

I'm looking for one business to buy and run myself as an engaged, full-time owner-operator. I'm not looking to acquire companies as part of an investment portfolio. If you're a business owner starting to think about your options, I'd love to connect with you.

A bit about me

I set off on this journey to own and operate a local business out of a lifelong respect for the small and medium-sized businesses that have shaped our country. As the son of Vietnamese refugees, I grew up watching my family work hard and build something from nothing. That upbringing gave me a deep appreciation for the men and women running their own businesses, doing their best every day to serve their customers, employees, and communities.
‍
My career spans operating leadership roles and partnering with business owners to grow their sales, marketing, and operations. I've worked across multiple industries including water and wastewater, manufacturing, logistics, and technology. From advising infrastructure firms to expanding critical services for customers, the throughline of my work has been a commitment to providing quality service, developing employees, and leaving things better than I found them.
‍
Originally from Virginia, I now live in Matthews, North Carolina, with my wife and two kids. We are up for adventure and would relocate permanently to where your company is based.

When I'm not working, you'll find me on the mats training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, cheering on the South Carolina Gamecocks and Washington Commanders, and attempting to make homemade pizza.

My advisors and mentors

I'm fortunate to have the support of a team of experienced business owners and leaders who are dedicating their time and energy to my pursuit of acquiring and running a business for the long term. Together, they bring decades of expertise in growing local businesses and being good stewards of them, and they share my values of integrity, humility, and constant self-improvement.
