Background

Operator. Analyst.
Veteran.

I am a U.S. Army veteran and financial professional with a background in accounting, tax auditing, and financial analysis. My engineering degree gives me an operational foundation that translates quickly in distribution and industrial service environments.

I am acquiring to operate — hands-on, full-time, and for the long term. For a seller who cares about legacy and continuity, I am a buyer who matches that commitment.

My background combines financial discipline, leadership experience, and technical foundation that most buyers cannot offer.

  • B.S. Civil Engineering Cal Poly Pomona — Cum Laude, GPA 3.60

Why Brandon

What Sets Me Apart

01
Financial Discipline
Master of Professional Accountancy with hands-on audit and public accounting experience. I can read a business deeply, identify margin leakage, and implement financial controls most owner-operators never formalize.
02
Proven Leadership
U.S. Army Sergeant with two combat deployments. Led teams in high-stakes environments requiring accountability, discipline, and execution under pressure. The transition period of a new acquisition does not intimidate me.
03
Technical Foundation
Civil Engineering degree provides a systems thinking foundation. I can engage with technical staff, vendors, and trade customers credibly — I am not starting from zero in distribution and industrial service environments.
04
Capital Certainty
Prequalified with multiple SBA Preferred Lenders. Equity committed. Clean personal balance sheet with no competing financial obligations. Financing is structured and ready — not contingent on finding a lender post-LOI.
"A good acquisition is not the finish line — it is the start of the real work. I am looking for a business worth committing a decade to, and prepared to commit accordingly."
