I bring decades of hands-on business experience to SCORE, offering clients practical guidance rooted in deep knowledge of small business, personal finance, and hospitality. I have a diverse background that spans financial services, entrepreneurship, education, and commercial real estate. I have worked with leading financial services firms, launched and operated three successful retail and concessions businesses, and advised countless restaurant and hospitality entrepreneurs through my work as a restaurant broker.
A proud Navy veteran, my career has been shaped by the values of service, integrity, and hard work. I understand the challenges business owners face because I’ve been in your shoes—as a founder, educator, investor, and advisor.
I hold multiple advanced degrees, including an MBA (Accounting), a Master’s in Taxation, and a Master’s in Business Education. I continue to deepen my expertise through hospitality-focused programs at Cornell and NYU, specializing in hotel revenue management, hospitality investment, and real estate strategy.
Whether you’re just getting started or planning your next move, I am here to help you build clarity, strategy, and confidence into your business decisions. I specialize in working with restaurant owners, hospitality entrepreneurs, and small business operators seeking insight into business buying, selling, or scaling.
