Investor and acquisition advisory
Understand the PVF business you're buying
I help investors and prospective buyers understand the practical workings of industrial pipe, valve and fitting distribution businesses.
What I look at
What I assess
I draw on 47 years in the industry, including building and owning a PVF supply house, to assess how a distribution business actually runs.

My role
Before and after an acquisition
My role is to help buyers:
- Ask better questions
- Recognize operational risks
- Identify opportunities for improvement
That applies before a deal is done and after it closes.
