Hey there fellow SearchFunders, 2023 has been a bit of a crazy year so far but I'm finally settled in my new home in Camas, Washington. We're a few miles east of Vancouver and across the river and state line from Portland. Altogether, the location couldn't be any better!

I'm working full-time as a consulting CFO for a handful of clients and I love the work. However, my true passion and career goals are to own and operate businesses. I have 20 years of experience running manufacturing, e-commerce and service businesses. I'm an MBA-educated finance professional with enough technical savvy to be dangerous. And I love messy situations. I have the flexibility to work as many or as few CFO hours as I need to.

I'm looking to buy/operate/oversee businesses in the following spaces:

- Manufacturing (specifically food/bev, metal, cleantech)
- Services (trades, service stations, critical services)
- Auto (repair, dealerships, tech)
- Logistics (final mile and warehousing are interesting opportunities where I'm located)

If any of this speaks to you or you feel that there would be value in us having a conversation, please get in touch. I'm not interested in buying a franchise but if you're looking for an operator or all-around solid business partner, let's talk.

^redacted‌ Thanks for the message! I was actually supposed to head to Bend in a couple of weeks for a rugby tournament but the match has been moved back up near PDX. Bend is certainly on our list to explore. ^redacted‌ would love to connect as well. I had a number of interactions with Voc Rehab in Denver when I chaired the Colorado Commission for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing.
