→ CEO of Stack Acquisitions - we acquire and help other companies acquire - I have worked on about 10 total - its like tackles in football, sometimes you get credited for just a fraction.
→ Host of Top M&A Entrepreneurs Podcast – my 50+guests have acquired 700+ businesses worth over $60 billion in value - What have I learned? Entrepreneurs that acquire 1 -2, talk about tactics. The Entrepreneurs that acquire 10+, talk mindset - add a Zero and ask, "How Can I double my business in 6 Months?"
→ Investor Acquisition Advisors – Reg A Crowdfund Raised for OTC companies. We raised $100 Million+ and only worked with publicly traded OTC companies by partnering with a PE firm. They came into offer at 15% discount, needed share price and trading volume - did not work with private companies - no liquidity events.
→ Helped Novo Integrated Sciences (NASDAQ: NVOS) with acquisitions and Uplist from OTC to NASDAQ in direct listing. Shares went from $4 to $37 in one day.
→ CenturyHearingAids.com – Bought this ecommerce business - it was distressed, rebuilt it: simplified product line - only sold 3 levels of hearing aids, automated and outsourced everything, sold it on EmpireFlippers.com (in 72 hours I guess I underpriced it)
→ Bought a Course Business, one of my first business acquisitions, “How to be a Game Tester” – hugely profitable but had to shut it down after 6 months - in violation of yahoo ad policies - not everything works out in buying a business - lesson: better Due Diligence.
→ Turbo Squid – Cofounder, VP of Marketing/Sales raised $5million from Intel and Advantage Capital – sold to Shutterstock many, many years later
→ Northern Arizona University – Electronic Engineering
→ USAF Staff Sergeant, enlisted, did a few good things and got a ride in an F4 Phantom - top speed 1,400mph - got yellow but did not puke.
→ First Acquisition Experience- in my teens, bought a calf for $90 and sold for over $1000
