Everyone building, buying, or selling businesses wants proven expertise.
I share what I learned from advising $26M+ in business exits, guiding 500+ entrepreneurs in their acquisition journey, transforming my own companies ($9M annual rev), and improving performance for Fortune 500s & private equity firms.
2013-2017: Aircraft engineer & airline ops. Got loyalty cards thrown at me.
2018-2020: Fortune 500 & PE advisory. Excel, pls fix, present to C-suite queen.
2021: Apple negotiations + business broker ($26M+ deals).
2022-2024: Advised top accelerators, bought multiple companies, transformed & exited 150-agent real estate platform (read about it in my upcoming book).
2024: Built M&A startup to six-figure ARR in 4 months.
2025: Building Chief Rebel - straight talk on business acquisition and exit advisory.
