Personal Experience

Selling a business you’ve built from the ground up is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. You need someone in your corner who gets that — not just professionally, but personally.

I’ve owned and operated a restaurant. I’ve met payroll, managed food costs, dealt with difficult leases, and eventually sold my own place. That experience doesn’t just inform how I work — it’s why owners trust me with transactions that matter most.

As a Certified Business Broker (CBB) and member of both the California Association of Business Brokers (CABB) and the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), I specialize in restaurants and bars, commercial real estate, SBA financing, and select Main Street businesses. I’ve guided buyers and sellers through transactions across Northern California for many years — and I know what it takes to get a deal done on your terms.

Working with the Santa Rosa Business & Commercial team means you also have an entire brokerage behind your deal — qualified buyers, experienced colleagues, and the infrastructure to move transactions forward efficiently.

If you don’t plan to sell on your terms, you’ll most likely sell on someone else’s. Let’s talk.
