CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER / Tom Macatee is a top honors graduate from the Texas Tech University College of Business Administration. His executive experience spans across many industries including retail management, product management, distribution logistics, mortgage, finance, small business ownership, franchising, Real Estate, and mergers & acquisitions. Tom held an executive position with a top Powersports Aftermarket Distributorship which provides the foundation of specific industry knowledge necessary to service the Powersports Industry vertical. During this tenure, Tom negotiated multi-million dollar purchase orders with many of the Powersports Industry’s top manufacturers. Tom also interfaced extensively with the sales team and dealership customer base. He then moved on to a Fortune 500 Mortgage firm specializing in new construction financing. While this role was a great learning experience, Tom discovered his passion was for entrepreneurship which is ever present in the Powersports Industry. Tom began his own franchised business which led to participating in franchise sales and eventually larger mergers & acquisitions. It was not long before his zeal for entrepreneurship led him back to the Powersports Industry in the role of mergers and acquisitions. Tom’s professional success and well-rounded experience transcends the skills necessary for successful M&A transactions which drive the Sunbelt Powersports Mergers & Acquisitions firm. Tom founded Sunbelt Powersports M&A in 2001 and the company has been revolutionizing the buying and selling of dealerships and middle market businesses ever since.

EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT - FINANCE & ANALYTICS / David Clay brings over 20 years of business experience to the Sunbelt team. A graduate of the University of Texas with a BBA in Finance, the majority of David's career has been in operational and financial management of small businesses. Within three years of graduating college, David had already realized success with two different entrepreneurial startups in the offset printing industry, both of which became worldwide industry leaders in their respective fields. In addition to taking David around the globe in support of his companies, the printing industry brought him experience in small business finance and accounting, research and development, manufacturing, patents and trademarks, and employee management. David's experience with mergers and acquisitions also began during his tenure in the printing industry when he and his partners sold their own company to an investment group, with David being the lead negotiator and purchase contract architect. It is this experience that led David to have a love and appreciation of the mergers and acquisitions process, both from a personal and professional level, which has now transcended with him to the powersports industry. Since 2002 David has been directly involved in the ownership changes at over 10 dealerships and now brings this experience directly to the Sunbelt team. David, as Vice President-Finance & Analytics, will assist clients in the preparation of their businesses for sale and will be the primary liaison with prospective buyers in aspects of due diligence and seller finances. David also provides financial, operational, and software consulting services to our clients.
