These entrepreneurial ventures enrich my empathy and perspective in client engagements.I am a member of the California Association of Business Brokers (CABB) and the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), and serve on the board of SEED (Supporting Early Childhood Education & Development).Based in San Francisco since 1988, I enjoy family time, running, tennis, surfing, and skiing.

Paul prides himself on understanding his clients’ needs. This is the first step toward achieving his goal of satisfying those needs. Paul’s diverse business background prior to joining Business Team includes positions as general manager, partner, and president in industries ranging from hospitality to marketing, advertising, and market research. He was involved in building an advertising company that went from inception to being sold in only six years. That was followed by a second advertising company that he individually owned, built, and sold within four years. Paul believes his own experience in building, managing, owning, and selling his own businesses enhances his ability to serve his clients through personal communication, industry knowledge, and knowing how to leverage that knowledge for the best possible outcomes for both buyers and sellers. Paul will be happy to spend time with you discussing your needs, whether they entail an evaluation, exit planning, or finding the right business as a new venture or a strategic acquisition.
