A Licensed Broker With $100M+ in Transactions
For over 20 years, I've been on both sides of the table: as a CEO running multiple companies, and as a licensed broker advising buyers on over $100 million worth of business acquisitions. I'm grateful to be where I am today because things weren't always this smooth.
My journey started in 2004, when I was laid off from my job as a VP of Sales for a staffing company that got bought out by a competitor. I was newly married, had a new mortgage, and had two children below the age of three. I had no income and was terrified.
This is when I made the turning-point decision to never work for someone else again. I bought my first business that same year, and have never looked back.
Today, I'm the Founder of Business Acquisition Mastery, where we help first-time buyers acquire profitable businesses and build wealth on their own terms:
26 student acquisitions in the last 18 months
$560K/year average cash flow of student deals
$1M to $3M average deal size of student deals
3X average multiple of SDE of student deals

Frequently Asked Questions
Need help? [email protected]
What exactly is Business Acquisition Mastery?
BAM is an 8-week coaching program that helps first-time buyers acquire real, profitable businesses — with step-by-step support, expert guidance, and a proven system. You’ll learn how to find deals, evaluate them, structure financing, and close with confidence, even if you’ve never done a deal before.
How much does this cost?
We have a variety of options to fit your exact needs — whether you’re looking for white-glove, done-with-you support or a more independent, step-by-step path. We’ll walk you through the details on your call and help you choose the path that best fits your goals, timeline, and budget.
Do I need a business or finance background to join?
Nope. BAM is designed for beginners. We break down every concept in plain English, from deal structure to due diligence. If you can read a basic financial statement, you’ll be able to follow the process and get real value.
How is this different from other business acquisition courses?
Most courses teach theory. This shows you actual deals—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Instead of hypothetical scenarios, you'll see real numbers, real structures, and real decision points that buyers faced. It's like getting 15 case studies for the price of a lunch.
What happens after I apply?
Once you fill out the application, you’ll book a free strategy call with a BAM team member. We’ll learn more about your goals, walk you through the program, and see if it’s the right fit. There’s no pressure — but if we both agree it’s a match, we’ll show you how to get started right away.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes — if you don’t get a business under contract in 90 days and you’ve followed the program, we’ll work with you 1-on-1 until you do. We don’t leave action-takers behind.
