Focus

The initial goal of American West is to acquire one small to medium-size business (SMB) in the western United States.

Once the acquisition process is complete, the focus will shift to continuity, with an emphasis on mastering the business model and learning the industry.  

Desirable Company Characteristics

  • Owner/operator owned business
  • 15+ years in business
  • Key employees retained after acquisition
  • Defensible market position
  • Fragmented industry
  • Recurring or repeat customers
  • Consistent revenue and margins

Core Values

I believe that when companies are engaged with their customers, employees, and communities, they represent the best of what small businesses can be. As local pillars, small businesses are the rising tide for their communities. I value a strong company culture that both honors its roots and sets its sights on growth that benefits everyone.
