Jeff is one of the most credentialed M&A advisors in the nation, with more than 20 years of transaction experience and firsthand experience founding, buying, and selling businesses of his own.


  • Industry Leadership

    Jeff doesn’t just hold credentials; he helps define them. As an IBBA Hall of Fame Inductee, Board of Governors member, and Credentialing Chairman for both the IBBA and M&A Source, he helps set the standards other advisors must meet.

  • National Influence

    Jeff’s expertise reaches beyond any single transaction. He’s contributed to pivotal SBA legislation, including the Seller Forgivable Note, the SBA Guarantee Cap Increase, and the Seller Note Guarantee Period Reduction. He’s also a sought-after national educator and expert witness in M&A matters.

  • Unmatched Credentialing

    Dual Lifetime Designations (LM&CBI & LM&AMI), unmatched in North Carolina, alongside Executive Education (CM&AP), place him among the most qualified M&A advisors in the country.
