Nick has built, run, and sold several of his own businesses over the last 17 years. His industry experience covers service businesses, medical practices, law practices, and many others.  

He enjoys being an intermediary by helping business owners avoid some of the simple, but sometimes costly mistakes that can be made by buying and selling private businesses.  

Nick received a degree in economics from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with honors, and he earned his MBA in finance from Indiana University.  

In his spare time, Nick enjoys playing Pickleball and spending time with his wife, Jill, and their four children.

In my 20s, I along with my 90+ year old grandmother ran a successful small business together in Los Angeles. It was hard work, but very rewarding, and my grandmother and I became very close.

Upon my grandmother's passing at the age of 97, it was her final wish that the business be sold. So I sought out a broker who could facilitate this request, and I was fortunate to come across someone who was smart, competent, kind hearted, available at all hours, and a great communicator.

The business was sold in a short time, and at a price that I know made my grandmother smile.

Now a broker myself, I seek to provide my clients with the same top-notch customer service that my broker once provided me. Additionally, my career experience in a broad array of industries, along with a master’s degree in business & finance gives me a heightened understanding of the business world.

Let me put my experience and training to work for you!

In my long career, I have represented many business sectors including Manufacturing, Service, Wholesale/Distribution, Medical Practices, Restaurants (including chains), Drycleaners, Laundromats, Franchises and the list goes on.
