I'm looking for a great business to buy, run, and keep for the long term.
I've spent the past decade building my family's business. Now I'm looking for an established company whose owner is ready for the next chapter, and who wants it left in good hands.

About me
I joined my family's healthcare business in central Minnesota in 2018. Since then I've completed two acquisitions, led a turnaround, grown the team to 30 people, and taken annual revenue from under $1 million to about $8 million.
My background is in accounting and finance, but most of what I know came from running the business day to day: making payroll, hiring the right people, building the systems we run on, and earning the trust of a team that didn't owe me anything because of my last name.
This year the older generation in our family is retiring, and healthcare rules make it hard for someone without a medical license to own the business going forward. So we're passing it on to a new owner, and I'm looking for a business I can own and lead myself.
I don't come from your industry, and I won't pretend to. I'll rely on the people who do the work every day. What I bring is the rest: finance, systems, hiring, and the discipline to grow a business without breaking what already works.
I live in Sauk Rapids with my wife, Christina, and our son. We're willing to relocate for the right opportunity. Our son is young enough that this is the perfect time to make a move.
What to expect if you sell to me
Selling a business you built is personal. Here is what I can promise up front.
- 01
I'll run it myself
I'm not buying to flip it. I'll be in the building every day, and I plan to own it for the long term.
- 02
Your people stay
The team is the business. My plan is to keep your employees, your name and your location, and to invest in all three.
- 03
A transition on your terms
Stay involved for a few months or a few years. We'll work out a handoff that fits your plans and protects what you built.
- 04
Straight answers
I've been on the selling side of a deal. I'll tell you early if something doesn't work.
- 05
Financing in place
I'm buying with proceeds from the sale of my family's business, and my SBA lender has already pre-approved me. There's no fund to raise before we can move.
- 06
Complete confidentiality
Your employees, customers and competitors won't hear about our conversations from me. I'm happy to sign an NDA before we talk numbers.
What I'm looking for
If your business is close on most of these, I'd still like to hear from you. Owners, brokers, accountants and attorneys are all welcome to reach out.
Makes products, distributes them, or provides industrial services, mostly to other businesses
At least $450,000 in annual profit
Been around for years, with steady profits and customers who keep coming back
A manager or team who handles the day to day is a big plus
Ready to retire or step back, and wants the business to keep going
Minnesota first, and open to relocating for the right business
Let's talk
Whether you're thinking about selling next month or five years from now, I'm glad to have an early, no-pressure conversation. Everything you share stays between us.
What happens next
- A short introductory call to see if this could be a good fit.
- An NDA and a look at high-level numbers, if it makes sense for both of us.
- A visit to see the business and meet in person.
