about

I am an experienced operator and entrepreneur with a background in engineering, manufacturing, and operations leadership across consumer products and food and beverage businesses. I’ve led complex global operations teams, founded and exited a small business, and built systems that support sustainable growth. I started Mountain Gate Ventures to apply this hands-on experience as a long-term owner of a great business.

If you are a business owner considering a transition, or a broker representing a potential fit, I welcome a direct conversation. Even an early, informal discussion can help determine whether Mountain Gate Ventures is the right long-term home for the business.
