Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, provided me with hands on experience in the ups and downs of small business ownership. Working in those businesses as a young teenager and now in my own business operations allows me to understand the perks, difficulties and hard work required by owners.

A college education and a short career in construction pointed my heart and brain to business ownership and I was fortunate to be mentored in our current family business, Coastal Consultants LLC. I understand the value of a positive attitude when dealing with people and businesses across all spectrums. From small single owner business to large multinational businesses involving different cultures and expectations.

After receiving additional training by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and over 6 years in this industry, I can relate to owners and members of my generation looking to build generational wealth through ownership of businesses for themselves.
