I'm an entrepreneur and business nerd that loves building businesses by helping people. My typical approach is to partner with an operator to acquire a business, assist in management for 5-10 years and then step back from operation into a board role. I've been in many industries over the years: IT Consulting, Movie Theatre / Family Entertainment Center development and operation, wholesale tree farming, oil field distribution, real estate, etc.
