When it comes to selling or acquiring a business, most advisors run a process — few design one.
My approach is built around Deal Engineering — intentionally shaping the right deal, with the right partners, on the right terms. This means going deeper than just listing a business and waiting for the market to decide. It’s about understanding the story behind the business, the motivations on both sides, and building a structure that creates a win for everyone involved.Sell-Side AdvisoryFor founders or owners preparing for an exit or recapitalization, I help engineer a transaction that reflects both the value and the vision of your business.Instead of blasting a listing to a broad market, I take a more deliberate approach — identifying who the right buyers are, why they’d care, and how to position the opportunity in a way that resonates.What this includes:Business positioning and valuation strategy
Research-driven buyer targeting and outreach

When you’re running a $1M+ cash flow business, wealth management isn’t about picking funds — it’s about engineering the right financial structure to protect, grow, and eventually transition what you’ve built.Most advisors talk about portfolios. I talk about design — building a system that connects your business, liquidity, and personal wealth into one cohesive strategy.My work is focused on owners like you: successful operators who’ve built meaningful businesses and want their wealth to work with the same clarity and purpose they brought to running their company.Wealth Design & StrategyBefore investing comes structure.
