About
Connect with me If you are buying companies, doing a roll up, or raising money. Most recently, I founded and exited The Pave, a holding company consolidating top-performing paving and asphalt businesses across the U.S. In under 12 months, we completed multiple acquisitions and built one of the fastest-scaling platforms in the industry. In 2025 alone, I raised over $50M across my holding company to fuel growth. Before that, I built Surgical Republic from the ground up, a fast-growing surgical instrument company now distributed across hundreds of hospitals and surgery centers throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. I still sit on the board today. I've also invested in and advised dozens of operator-led businesses, helping founders raise capital, install the right systems, and build teams that actually scale. If you have an interesting thesis message me. Today, I share what I've learned, unfiltered on acquisitions, holding companies, and what it really takes to build something worth owning. I write a monthly newsletter and host Built in America, a podcast with over 65,000 YouTube subscribers
