I’m actively looking for a business to operate myself in the Hudson Valley between New York City and Albany.
I’m looking to buy and operate a great business for the long term - preserving what works, investing in the team, and growing carefully.

About me
About me
I am committed full-time to finding, acquiring and personally operating one enduringly profitable business for the long-term.
I live in Milan, NY and hope to find a business in a nearby community. Ideally, I’d like to find a business that’s been run well for the last 25 years so I can be the steward of that legacy for the next 25 years.
Why I’m doing this
I grew up in an entrepreneurial household. My dad built two businesses, which allowed him to prioritize time with us, create prosperity for his team and his customers, and control his own financial future. His successful exit created long-term security for our family, especially for my mom after he passed away.
I created PFM Hudson as a way to find and acquire this business. The name refers to my dad’s business, PFM, and my commitment to my home region and economy.
My background
Raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Lived in Milan for the last 2 years.
Education at University of Virginia and Harvard Business School
15 year career in consulting, investing, startups, and B2B marketing & sales.
