I've spent ten years making other founders' companies run better. I'm ready to bet on my own judgment instead.

What they’d build on itBuy one durable business and run it for decades. Modernize the boring parts — scheduling, invoicing, inventory — without touching what customers actually value.

What happens to the peopleEvery plan I've ever written started with the people who already know the work. I'd expect to be the least knowledgeable person in the building for a year, and to pay accordingly.

My partners and I want to own durable Michigan businesses for the long haul — buy well, run well, never flip.

What they’d build on itBuy one business a year, keep each one's identity intact, and give the managers running them real upside. The plan is decades, not quarters.

What happens to the peopleWe promote from within — the general manager of each business we buy comes from its own bench wherever possible. Existing staff get the same deal they had or better.

I watched my dad's shop close because nobody stepped up. I want to be the person who steps up for somebody else's.

What they’d build on itKeep the name and the crews, tighten up dispatch, and earn the seller's trust enough that carrying a note feels safe to them.

What happens to the peopleI've led crews my whole career. Nobody loses a job because the sign changed hands — the crew is the business.

I've run plants for other people for twenty years. I want the last stretch of my working life spent on something with my own name on the line.

What they’d build on itKeep what works, fix the scheduling and billing, and grow the service-contract side. No rebrand, no consultants, no drama for the customers.

What happens to the peopleThe team is most of what I'd be buying. Everyone keeps their job, and the people who've been there longest would be teaching me for the first year.
