My name is Jeremy, and I want to own and operate a great business in South Florida.

Working closely with family business owners inspired me to become an owner-operator. I started Kinship to find a business and build a family legacy of my own.

Let’s talk See what I’m looking for

Geographic focus

South Florida

Typical earnings range

$500K–$2M

Annual seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE)

Outside that range? Let’s talk.

What interests me

Business services
Select consumer services
Distribution
Route-based businesses

I’m drawn to established, profitable businesses where customers value good service and the team takes pride in delivering it.

About me

Working with family owners taught me how overwhelming the sale process can be for sellers. I’ve often been the person they would turn to—to talk through a concern, understand what was happening, or work out the next steps. I’d bring that same steady approach to working together.

Canadian roots

I grew up in Western Canada but never developed an appetite for the cold or a talent for winter sports.

South Florida is home

I’m a dual Canadian–U.S. citizen and have called South Florida home since moving here in 2022.

Experienced in acquisitions

I’ve helped complete 10+ acquisitions in retail, distribution, and services, which taught me how to evaluate businesses and find solutions to competing concerns.

Customer-focused

In sales and product development roles, I worked backward from customer needs to develop products and services we could deliver in practice.

How I’d approach ownership

In the beginning, I’d spend most of my time listening to the team, understanding their day-to-day, and learning what customers value.

Listen to and empower the team

The people doing the work know it best. Listen to their ideas and empower them with tools and support to own and implement their ideas.

Work backward from the customer

Understand the experience customers value, then build the products, services, and systems needed to deliver it consistently.

Follow through

Pair strong relationships with clear expectations, a close understanding of the numbers, and the discipline to turn good ideas into results.

An example of how I work

At ABB E-Mobility, I worked with a major fleet customer to understand the services they needed to keep their charging equipment running. My team developed a service offering that connected those needs with what we could deliver, including a path to build additional capabilities over time.

What to expect

A first conversation is simply a chance to learn about each other. If there’s a potential fit, I’ll be clear about the next steps and what we both need to understand.

01

A first conversation

Meet locally or speak by phone about the business, your goals, and what you’d want from a transition.
02

Confidentiality and information

If there’s mutual interest, sign a confidentiality agreement and review the business together.
03

Visit the business

See the operation firsthand and discuss what a transition could look like, with discretion around employees and customers.
04

A clear proposal

Set out the proposed price, terms, and timing in writing.
05

Diligence and transition

Confirm the details, work through the agreements, and prepare for a coordinated handover.

Let’s talk

Whether you’re considering a sale or just starting to think about what comes next, I’d welcome a confidential conversation about your business and what matters to you.

Brokers and advisors are welcome to reach out as well.
