1. Vice President

   Mercer Capital

   Oct 2023 — Present

   I have been involved with hundreds of valuation and litigation support engagements in a diverse range of industries on local, national, and international levels. I provide valuation analyses for family law, commercial litigation, gift and estate tax planning, transactions (M&A), fairness and solvency opinions, and employee stock ownership plans (ESOP), among other valuation-related service needs of privately held businesses. As a member of the firm’s Auto Dealership Industry team, I publish research on valuation issues in the newsletter Value Focus: Auto Dealer Industry and contribute regularly to Mercer Capital’s Auto Dealer Valuation Insights Blog. As a member of Mercer Capital’s Litigation Group, I provides both valuation and lifestyle analyses in addition to preparing attorneys and clients for various aspects of the marital dissolution process. Mercer Capital is one of the largest independent business valuation firms in the country. We provide independent valuation opinions for purposes such as succession planning, shareholder disputes, gift and estate tax planning, buy-sell agreements, and employee stock ownership plans. In addition, we have an active transaction advisory practice. Our clients include private and public operating companies, financial institutions, asset holding companies, high-net worth families, and private equity/hedge funds.
