After building and leading Apollo Information Systems for more than two decades, I retired from operating leadership on March 31, 2025, and now focus on founder-led lower-middle-market businesses where operational durability, transferability, and execution discipline materially impact long-term value creation.
My background is operator-first, not financial-engineering-first. I'm particularly interested in businesses where:
Founder dependency creates hidden fragility
Operational systems have not kept pace with growth
Operational bottlenecks constrain growth and transferability
Recurring revenue and embedded customer relationships create durable foundations
Professionalization and operational clarity can unlock meaningful value creation
I'm actively building pattern recognition in:
Compliance-driven specialty trades
Operationally complex B2B service businesses
Recurring infrastructure and maintenance businesses
Niche industrial and field-service companies
Founder-transition and succession-sensitive businesses
My perspective is shaped by years of operating inside scaling organizations rather than purely transactional experience. I tend to evaluate opportunities through the lenses of:
Transferability
Operational resilience
Labor defensibility
Customer stickiness
Decision velocity
Operational modernization
Durable market structure
I'm focused on businesses with $750K–$2.0M in annual EBITDA, headquartered and operating in Orange County, California.
I'm especially interested in connecting with founders, intermediaries, and operators who think seriously about transition quality, integration risk, and building businesses that can scale beyond the original owner.
