About Us

At Legacy Exit Advisors, our mission is to help business owners secure the best possible sale of their business that aligns with each seller’s unique goals. Every transaction is designed around the seller’s priorities- whether that means getting the highest possible value, or selling to the buyer who is the right fit.

Trusted M&A Advisory Firm

Legacy Exit Advisors is a seller-focused M&A advisory, committed to helping business owners in the lower and middle market successfully exit with confidence. We provide tailored guidance, deep industry knowledge, and a client-focused approach. Our advisors can handle deals of any size, but our core business targets deals from $5M to $500M.

We believe that every transition marks a new beginning — and our goal is to ensure yours is as seamless as possible and reflective of the legacy you've built.

We also provide consulting services and guidance on transactions to independent M&A firms. For advisors or firms who have a larger or more complex deal that is outside of their normal scope, we can provide any level of support that is required.


Our Core Values

Integrity

We believe in full transparency and trust when facilitating transactions of any size.

Innovation

We combine expertise with modern tools to create the best outcomes for buyers and sellers.

Partnership

We treat every client relationship as a strategic partnership—not just a transaction.

Meet Our Team

My leadership roles at CenturyLink and RLP Mechanical Contractors, Inc. gave me a unique perspective on merging teams and cultures, and my global experience spans 26 countries. I treat every client’s business as if it were my own, ensuring no detail is overlooked and every outcome is maximized. My military background instilled discipline and integrity, while my passion for fishing, music, and family keeps me grounded.
