President
As both a business owner and attorney with over 25 years of transactional experience, I purchased my Sunbelt franchises because I wanted to provide sellers and buyers the most professional, experienced, and ethical business brokerage advice available. I bring to the Sunbelt brokerage team both a practical and legal perspective on the sale and purchase of a business.
My background includes significant business ownership experience. I started, built, and sold four businesses of my own prior to purchasing Sunbelt. The businesses I founded and later sold included a manufacturing operation that was grossing over $5,000,000 at the time of sale. I also owned and operated a coast-to-coast trucking company, an import company, and a national independent sales representative organization. As president of each company, I personally experienced many of the same concerns realized by sellers and buyers of any small business. Being responsible for the day-to-day operations of those businesses as well as all the details associated with the sale of each company provided me a similar perspective to the process as realized by our clients.
It is a great benefit to have walked in the shoes of our clients as a business owner myself. My expertise is valuable in assisting our team navigate a critical and complex endeavor to the best benefit of our clients.

Senior Business Broker
Born and raised in the Midwest, I recognize the strong work ethic required to successfully own and operate a small business. Prior to joining the Sunbelt team as a business broker, I managed a small business for years and later owned and operated two separate small businesses for over twenty years. I have been both a buyer and seller. With the unique perspective of having been on both sides of the deal, I understand how difficult it can be to evaluate a business. When listing a business, I bring to the table a variety of resources that allow me, together with the seller, to determine what the business is truly worth including how financing issues may come to bear on the sale price.
For clients who wish to purchase a business, I appreciate the enormous commitment of owning and operating a business day to day. My expertise is valuable in taking potential buyers through a series of conversations with the express purpose of determining whether they truly have the time and desire to own a business—a crucial step necessary before making the investment.
Since I have been down this road before, I realize that buyers and sellers run a huge risk if they do not consult a professional business broker. The sale or purchase of a business is very complex. Taking clients through the entire process and successfully closing a deal is very fulfilling. I am pleased to be part of the Sunbelt team serving our clients with the utmost integrity.

My experience as a finance professional provides me a unique perspective on the right avenue for financing a small business acquisition.
Early in the process, I am able to serve our clients best by engaging them in conversation to uncover their backgrounds, skills, goals, and passions. Taking the time to truly understand their particular situation allows me to match our clients with the most appropriate business opportunity for their unique circumstances. This also allows me to anticipate and resolve problems before they complicate the negotiation process.

Business Broker
Before joining the Sunbelt business brokerage team, I served as national sales manager for a Fortune 500 company. My job was to work with authorized distributors and vendors to help them manage the many issues they faced in their businesses. Those unique experiences with diverse business owners have given me a valuable perspective. I also spent nine years in real estate finance, which afforded me the knowledge and skills necessary to concisely explain to both buyers and sellers the ramifications of the financial decisions they will need to make during the process. An entrepreneur at heart, I have also built an Internet business, giving me personal knowledge of the challenges faced when taking over a business and rebuilding it.
Years of experience has taught me the tremendous value in keeping a cool head when problems arise. I am able to help my clients sort through the ups and down of the process to arrive at clear and logical solutions to any problems that may occur.
It is very rewarding to show clients the opportunities that are available and to illustrate how successful they can be through the purchase or sale of a business.

I was raised on a working ranch in Nebraska wherein the tremendous value of a strong work ethic was deeply ingrained in me.

Business Broker
Throughout the years, I have truly enjoyed living and working in central Nebraska. I received my degree in business from Kearney State College (University of Nebraska-Kearney). After college, I joined the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) serving as a commissioned bank examiner for seven years. I left the FDIC to begin work at a local community bank and within two years was promoted to bank president. I served in that capacity for 25 years. During my years at the bank, I built key relationships with many folks in the surrounding communities. I have met with hundreds of business owners and I am intimately familiar with a wide variety of lending vehicles, including Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. During my tenure at the bank, I also served on the board of the Nebraska Bankers Association.
Beyond my banking experience, I have been involved in a variety of business and community organizations such as the local Chamber of Commerce, the Sherman County Economic Development Board, and the Valley County Health System Foundation.
I am delighted to join Sunbelt of Nebraska serving sellers and buyers of small businesses in the central portion of our great state. As a seasoned banker, I recognize the many nuances of small business operations and finance, thereby bringing valuable perspective and extensive expertise to bear on the many details of the process. I understand that successfully serving clients is all about effectively solving problems that may occur during the process. I am driven to help my clients achieve their goals, whether it is to buy or sell a business.
As a member of the team at Sunbelt of Nebraska, I am pleased to work with a full team of professionals who can answer questions, ease concerns, and assist clients in achieving their goals and objectives.
