Our Investment Thesis

We focus on situations where we can add real value, rather than just financial metrics. Examples include owners looking to transition out, retire, facing life events, or companies in need of leadership. We're not financial engineers—we're operators who roll up our sleeves and drive improvements from day one.

Current Focus: Diesel repair, fleet maintenance, and blue-collar service businesses primarily based in South Florida. We're building a platform to consolidate fragmented independent shops through strategic add-on acquisitions.

We will add value through active management, not just "oversight." This means I will show up and roll up my sleeves every day and lead by example.

Growth, Not Extraction
