Hand off your company to someone who's all in from day one.
I'm looking for one water treatment company to buy and run full-time.
You've spent years building your business. When the time comes to step back, you want to know it’s in good hands. Growing up, I saw firsthand the impact that businesses can have on customers, employees, and the broader community. That’s what drives me to be on-site every day, learning how your company operates, earning the right to lead your team, and building on what you’ve started. If you're the owner of a water treatment business thinking about the next chapter for you and your company, I'd love to connect.


A bit about me
I set off on this journey out of a lifelong respect for small and medium-sized companies. As the son of immigrants, I grew up watching my parents work hard and make sacrifices to pursue the American dream. That upbringing gave me a deep respect for the men and women running local businesses and providing people in their communities with a chance to chase their own version of that dream.
I'll be upfront: I don't have decades of water treatment experience. What I do have is 10+ years of helping small and medium-sized businesses grow, building trust with teams way smarter than me, and leading initiatives across sales, marketing, and operations. Throughout these experiences, I've learned that the simplest things are often the most important: show up, solve problems, and leave things better than you found them. I started my career working with water and wastewater utilities, so I have some familiarity and a real appreciation for the importance of managing this precious resource. Thankfully, I've come a long way since my first visit to a wastewater treatment plant in dress shoes. Luckily, they were brown.
Over the past year, I've been deeply focused on understanding water treatment. Riding along on service routes, asking (probably obvious) questions in technical training sessions, and talking with people doing the work: owners who built their company from scratch, technicians and engineers who are the face of those companies, and customers who rely on your expertise.
Originally from Virginia, I now live in Matthews, North Carolina, with my wife and two kids. We are up for adventure and would relocate permanently to where your company is based.
When I'm not working, you'll find me training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, cheering on the South Carolina Gamecocks and Washington Commanders, and attempting to make homemade pizza...all guaranteed to keep my ego in check.
Why I'm focused on water
People depend on it
Water quality isn't optional for customers. The impact of treating and managing it well is tangible, even if the work that goes into it is behind the scenes.
It’s built on trust
Success in water treatment comes down to expertise, quality service, and relationships. The business model and doing the right thing are aligned.
We can do our part
Clean, usable water isn't something I take for granted. The work this industry does to protect and conserve water matters beyond any single company or person. I want to be part of that.
My advisors and mentors
I'm fortunate to have the support of experienced business owners and leaders who are dedicating their time and energy to my pursuit of running a business for the long term. They bring decades of expertise in growing local businesses and being good stewards of them, and share my values of integrity and constant self-improvement.

What you can count on
Humility
I assume I have more to learn than I have to teach. My goal is to lead by example and inspire those around me to get better every day.
Respect
A fresh perspective, grounded in respect for the business and culture you've built. I'm here to carry the torch.
Partnership
There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to something as important as transitioning your company.
I'm flexible on timing and how involved you want to be going forward, given your personal goals.
