I’ve been closing deals for more than 30 years.From the first time I successfully convinced a small business owner to sell me their family-owned business at just 21 years old – which I operated for more than a decade – I have loved finding, negotiating and closing deals. But not just any deals — the right deals. Deals that, when you leave the closing table, you know in one way or another everyone is walking away a winner.Sometimes that’s thanks to luck. Most of the time, it’s because there was a savvy negotiator behind the scenes who found the right deal at the right time. That’s me.I see things others can’t — like why a small business in an out-of-the-way market might be a key acquisition for a multi-million-dollar health care company. Or why regulatory conditions in a particular state make a deal that might not look that great today a real winner over time.I’ve spent more than two decades working in the health care space, identifying and negotiating acquisitions for national companies like Almost Family, overseeing its largest acquisition to date, and ResCare, Inc. (now BrightSpring), growing it to a Fortune 100 company. Then I owned a national health care mergers and acquisitions advisory company that consistently closed 40-50 transactions annually. When I found myself spending more time running the company than doing deals, I knew it was time to refocus my energies on what I love – closing deals. Now I’m looking forward to using my years of expertise to find those strategic deals for my clients that leave all parties smiling.I enjoy parsing through proposed payment and program changes; tracking current I/DD rate environments and corresponding opportunities; and staying current on state-specific personal care rates and programs, so even if you’re not looking to sell your health care business right now, please reach out if you want to talk about the markets and the future of our industry. Some of my specific areas of expertise include:Building relationships that create results for clientsUnderstanding regulatory environments for home care, hospice and behavioral healthClosing hundreds of transactions, including more than $200 million in I/DD dealsFinding deals and off-market opportunities that fit a client’s strategic goalsBuilding a whole-company growth plan in specific markets or service areas based on strategic acquisitions
