Announcing AreYouReadyToExit! We're a group of entrepreneurs looking to buy kitchen and bath cabinetry companies, or to partner with their owners who looking to exit their business soon. If this is you, I am committed to seeing you secure your legacy and ensure a smooth path through the complexities of selling your business.

Our goal is to make your business more self-sufficient and more valuable so it is easier to sell. We are not business brokers. We put in place processes and procedures to delegate work so the owners can have more free time.Since 2005 I have been actively investing in real estate and private ventures. I especially like supporting or investing in small, revenue positive businesses. I have a track record of success. I have started or helped start technology companies, and grew them into profitable businesses. I have managed teams effectively, and delivered continuous customer satisfaction year after year.

At IMA, our vision is Unleashing Agency Potential Everywhere. This means that our mission is to maximize the liquidity value of agency partner firms, by focusing on Growing Profit and Improving Efficiencies. We want to give locally focused, often specialized, firms access to bid on full-service projects on a global arena where they would have not been able to bid on prior.IMA is not your everyday roll-up! We have taken the roll-up acquisition model, analyzed it, looked at what works and what really sucks then created something new, different, more efficient, and a lot more pleasant to go through. The "Power Merger".The POWER MERGER a synergistic approach to merging multiple businesses with the goal of:* Shared vision, goals, and missions* A culture of the team before the individual* Collaboration on many levels (from problem-solving to cross-selling and multi-firm projects)A further differentiator from other roll-ups is that we only require a minority stake and an advisory role in your business. We work together, collaborate with all the firms, and help you grow both in value and revenue. In the end, you maintain a say in who you are, what work you do and how you grow. You get to keep the majority stake in your agency at the liquidity event at the end of the process. It’s a Win-Win-Win!
