Get to know us

Having spent some time around small businesses with my in-laws having their own, my wife being a sole proprietor as well as my dabbling in various short-term side gigs, I've always been around and interested in how small businesses make the local, regional and national economy run. My background in corporate leadership and education along with that desire will bring a strong partner to a retiring or transitioning business owner who is looking for a valuable exit.

Our mission

I'm a firm believer that hard work, discipline and enjoying the process will take you far. The mission of BAF Acquisitions is to find the right partners who have spent their blood, sweat and tears creating a valuable business and provide a solution to carry that on in the next generation.

Our values

At BAF Acquisitions, we firmly believe in upholding values that guide our actions and decisions. I recently came across the United States Air Force Academy values that resonate strongly with me.

• Integrity First

• Service before Self

• Excellence in all we do

Integrity First is the foundation of our ethical conduct and drives us to always do what is right, even when no one is watching. Service before self embodies our dedication to putting the needs of others before our own, as we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. Lastly, Excellence in all we do reflects our unwavering pursuit of exceptional quality and continuous improvement in everything we undertake.

About me...

A self-described family man, I am grateful for an amazing loving wife who has showed me the entrepreneurial way. We have embarked on a most important journey together (and not to mention her being the saint along the way) of raising and guiding 4 boys to become men.
