As a past customer, Dave enjoyed the process with Sunbelt so well that he decided to join Sunbelt as a Business Broker. After college, Dave started with Hewlett-Packard and held progressively more responsible positions on the path to becoming the area controller before leaving H-P to acquire a small business. That business grew dramatically over the next 12 years and spawned 3 additional businesses. In 2005 Dave contacted Sunbelt Business Brokers to find an acquisition partner to ensure the companies growth to the next level. A difficult decision that was made better with Sunbelt's leadership. Dave had several buyers to choose from to pass on his vision of the companies, and the whole process took only 90 days. To gain additional experience in mergers and acquisitions, Dave hired on for one year with a private company that had made many acquisitions. This gave Dave the insight he needed to see the complex pieces that need to mesh together to make a successful acquisition. This is knowledge that will help each client achieve their dream of owning their own successful business, or in selling their business with the pride of seeing that business flourish as they pursue their next goal. It's all about using this knowledge to help others succeed. Let Dave's more than 25 years of corporate and small business experience in computer electronics, promotional products manufacturing & distribution, commercial packaging, wholesale food production, pick and pack operations, web based businesses, commercial real estate and the hospitality & hotel industry, help you catch your dream. Dave continues as a financial partner in a commercial real estate holding company and as president of the Board of Directors for Big Powderhorn Lodging Association. Dave is a licensed Business Broker in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and a member of Sunbelt Midwest, with three offices in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St.Paul. |
