My Process
Discover Who You Are
It’s all about you. I first seek to understand who you are; your business skill sets and aptitudes, passions, desired business characteristics and overall goals.
Personalized Model
Once I have a thorough understanding of the characteristics you are looking for in a business, I will create a model that is then used to help me match you with a business that meets your criteria.
Match Make
Our parent company vetts thousands of concepts annually. I will match your personalized model with a viable franchise concept that meets all your needs.
Support Your Due Diligence
With over 17 years of experience in multiple concepts as a successful franchisee and area developer, I will coach you through the due diligence process to ensure that you have full transparency on the opportunities available so that you can make a sound business decision.
Motivational Coaching
While this process is exciting, it can also be stressful and overwhelming. I’ve been through it myself several times so I’ll make sure to guide and lead you through every step. I will challenge and inspire you to find your own answers while also giving you the reassurance and confidence you need to fulfill your dreams.

Although I had experience with John in another brand, what I really enjoyed about John, was his professionalism and willingness to first understand the types of businesses we like to invest in and build. He took the time to understand that we prefer to get into concepts at the founder level and help to develop and build those, and typically it revolves around recurring revenue models with memberships. After understanding our needs, John presented only brands he felt had all the elements we were looking for. From there, John was amazing at keeping us engaged and moving forward with due diligence and he was always available for questions and answers. From cradle to grave, he really kept us plugged into the right people, both at the Franchisor level as well as the validation and due diligence with Franchisees.
