If elected to CABB Board of Directors, my goal would principally be to provide an Affiliate voice to CABB. I pride myself on continuing education and training and I believe adding an SBA lender’s expertise in areas such cash flow calculation, valuation and underwriting, would be incredibly valuable to both CABB  and its members. I would also strive to be to liaison to other affiliate members to help them not only provide the greatest benefit to CABB but allow them to receive the utmost benefit from the organization.

As a board member, I seek to continue to elevate the level of professionals in our industry and thus better serve the small business community. This includes ongoing education through courses, webinars, and the annual conference. I believe that the more business brokers interact and work together it benefits the entire ecosystem.  To that end, I would like to see a greater level of involvement from members in committees, best practice groups, and at local and national events.

During the past thirty-one plus years, I have had the pleasure of living an exciting, successful career in our industry as a business broker, M&A advisor, business valuation consultant, expert witness, mentor for new associates, and team leader. 

Having experienced the considerable challenges that all participants in our industry face, I’m acutely aware of the important roles that education, professional development training, sharing transaction experiences and access to database resources play in supporting our professional endeavors and furthering our competence.

Our industry has changed dramatically since I first became involved over 31 years ago and will continue to evolve at an ever increasing rate as time goes forward.  We need to keep up with the times or we will be left behind. 

If elected to the Board of Directors, I will use my experience and best efforts in working with other Board members to ensure that CABB offers its members relevant and up-to-date education and professional development training, in addition to facilitating information sharing, and providing access to essential resources and other benefits that our members need to excel professionally and to prosper.
