    My unique approach to financial management is designed to reveal both insights and opportunities. Building upon a background of National Account Management, Commercial Banking, Brokerage Services, and Senior-Level Financial Consulting, I draw upon a wealth of practical, first-hand experience to benefit clients in the ways that matter most: A broad-based understanding of business finance that achieves defined, sustainable goals. A common theme linking disparate industries at different stages of development and maturity comes courtesy of an understanding of the flow of every dollar, from sales to expense to operating income. Examined through a lens that is customized for every client and each business, and reflects their unique challenges and competitive advantages. The result is what I call Functional Financial Management. It’s not merely the numbers, but the story inside the numbers. Customized, relevant, and with a practical utility that can be nothing short of game-changing. These are also the hallmarks of financial management guidance provided through Business Expedition Partners, the financial consulting firm I founded to offer clients around the world specialized financial consulting. From start-ups to mature companies, it is an honest, hard-working, unrelenting attention to detail that delivers results exceeding expectations. Top 5% Odesk Contractor!

    Let me use my years of experience as a business and corporate attorney to assist you with your legal needs and I am sure you will be pleased with the added value I bring to the table. BUSINESS CONTRACTS AND TRANSACTIONS I have handled numerous business transactions such as sale of a business, asset purchase agreements, adding partners or members to a limited liability company, and advising on joint ventures. Just some of the many contracts I have drafted include: - Consulting Agreements; - Operating Agreements; - Partnership Agreements; - Founder Agreements; - Joint Venture Agreements; - Shareholder Agreements; - Independent Contractor Agreements; - Confidentiality Agreements; - Non-circumvention and Non-disclosure Agreements; - Non-solicitation Agreements; - Settlement Agreements with Non-Dispaaragement Clauses; - Hold Harmless and Indemnity Agreements; - Warranty and Disclaimer Clauses; - Distribution Agreements; - Licensing Agreements; - Finder's Fee Agreements; - Website Terms and Conditions; - Website Privacy Policies; - Employment Agreements; - Financing Agreements; - Term Sheets; and - Memoranda of Understanding. WEBSITES Regarding website Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies I can usually offer a flat rate fee after discussing the matter further and finding out exactly what type of website is involved. If it is not an Interactive website or platform (web visitors cannot leave comments, reviews, or network with one another) then it is different than the disclosures and disclaimers I use for a site that does allow visitors and customers to interact. The liability and risk issues are much different. I have done over 20 Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policies Disclaimers, and Refund Policies for the following types of websites in just the past 2 years: - subscription based platforms - hiring/networking based platforms - ecommerce companies - service based companies - financial information websites - SaaS businesses - PaaS (Platform as a Service) - news and informational websites - crypto platforms BUSINESS PLANNING AND STRATEGY I have advised many business clients, large and small, with planning and strategy, strategic relationships, corporate restructuring, international product sales, capital raising options, deal structure, term sheet proposals, as well as funding and financing options. I have advised clients regarding PaaS, subscription based, and networking themed businesses. BUSINESS FORMATION AND STRUCTURING My law practice has involved representing clients in business matters, including structuring all forms of legal entities and preparing contracts such as partnership agreements, joint venture agreements, operating agreements for LLCs, shareholder agreements, purchase agreements, and employment agreements. I have also advised clients in joint venture structuring, provided networking opportunities, and structured various transactions to meet the needs of my clients. Often I assist my clients with the drafting of a term sheet or memorandum of understanding to make sure the parties are in agreement before contracts are drafted. Please reach out to me so we can have a free, short call and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have and explain why I am the best fit for your project. I can usually offer a flat rate fee after discussing the documents or legal services that are needed.

I am an investor and operator with 12+ years’ experience raising and deploying capital into life science, healthcare services, and technology companies of all stages and sizes.

Finally, I realize everyone has a budget. Don’t let my rate stop you from getting in touch. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Commercial property owners and investors (and/or business owners) often need to obtain a valuation when considering selling a property or purchasing a new one. A formal appraisal can take time and range in cost from $2K to $25K, with an average expense of $4,000. A quick and less expensive way to get a valid valuation is to have a CRE professional perform a Broker Opinion of Value (BOV), sometimes also called a Broker Price Opinion (BPO). The average expense for this option is $750. As a CRE advisor I've performed many BOV's on industrial and multifamily properties, and the process I use also applies to office, land, and retail properties. My profile will show that I have also provided business valuations as an adjunct to my CRE business. I've only used Upwork a few times, and have only posted examples of brief valuations, but I have also performed more comprehensive assessments and use Excel templates and valuation software. I live in southeastern PA, but can provide remote valuations if given the proper financial information. Contact me to discuss your needs - I welcome the opportunity to assist you. More about me: I have over 40 years experience in business development in various industries, and entered into CRE in 2016. I have a BS in Mineral Economics from Penn State, and an MBA Marketing from Lehigh University. I also hold the Certified Commercial Advisor (CCA) designation from the National Association of Real Estate Advisors (NAREA). My work is driven by the belief that the client comes first, last, and always, and my personal core values are respect, integrity, and personal/professional growth.
