Some unexpected detours end up being a journey you are glad you took. That is certainly the case with me. After a twenty-year career as a practice owning dentist, health issues caused a detour that led me down a path that eventually came to Mergers and Acquisitions. I thoroughly enjoy my work in M & A and consider it a calling. Whether working with a small market client, or a private equity firm, I look forward to the challenges each day brings.

I have many years of direct experience in brokering Dental, Therapy,  Veterinary, and generally Healthcare industry practice sales. During this time, I have had many experiences working with private buyers, strategic buyers, and private equity and investment banker groups. I am one of very few healthcare practitioners certified in doing Valuations and exit planning in the United States, and the only dentist.
