What I'm looking for

I'm looking to acquire and operate a lower-middle-market industrial or manufacturing business, applying multi-site P&L leadership, operational discipline, and growth planning to build lasting value.

I've led whole-business P&L performance at American Patio Covers, WillScot Mobile Mini, and NEPA Pallet & Container, spanning sales, service, operations, engineering, finance, safety, and HR. At WillScot Mobile Mini, I grew Pacific Northwest area revenue from $18M to $50M+ while exceeding corporate EBITDA targets and integrating two national acquisitions across six locations.

I'm now building Palatine Ventures to acquire and operate a lower-middle-market industrial or manufacturing business, applying 20+ years of operating leadership, diligence, and post-acquisition planning. I build leadership teams, operating plans, KPI systems, and distribution networks that support sustainable profitable growth.
