As the founder of Nexbridge Capital and a Union Ironworker with over 20 years of experience, I’ve spent my career not only physically building bridges but also learning the importance of strong foundations and connections. Just as I’ve worked on iconic structures like the Mario Cuomo Bridge, I approach business acquisition with the same dedication and precision. Nexbridge Capital is my way of continuing that legacy—creating bridges between businesses and their future potential, connecting opportunities, and building a stronger foundation for industries to thrive. Whether it’s on a job site or through entrepreneurship, I’m committed to shaping the future by bridging the gap between where businesses are today and where they can go tomorrow.

Mission Focus

My mission is to build a brighter, more sustainable future by identifying, acquiring, and elevating businesses poised for growth and innovation. I am committed to preserving the legacies of the companies I invest in while empowering them with the resources, expertise, and strategic direction necessary to achieve new heights. By focusing on business acquisitions that foster development and long-term value, I strive to become a trusted partner in the entrepreneurial and industrial ecosystems, championing progress through thoughtful and strategic investment.

I am passionate about driving the future of industries like Construction, Manufacturing/Fabrication, and Landscaping by acquiring businesses with a strong foundation and propelling them into the next era of growth. Through innovation, leadership, and a dedication to excellence with a commitment to the prosperity of businesses, their employees, and the communities they serve.

Primary goal of Acquisition

The primary goal of this acquisition is to transition from a successful career as a Union Ironworker into business ownership, leveraging my extensive industry experience to build a thriving, customer-focused business. This venture aims to generate stable cash flow, build long-term equity, and create a legacy in the trades, offering reliable services to the local community.

My long-term vision is to build a business that provides sustainable income and eventually can be sold at a premium, passed down, or scaled further. I will regularly evaluate the business’s performance and market conditions to determine the best time to exit, whether through a sale, merger, or transfer to a family member or trusted employee.

Acquisition Criteria

Transitioning to Ownership

This shift requires a deep understanding of the industry, financial management, strategic planning and key partners to assist with ETA process, funding, legal & negotiation's and closing. The goal is to ensure the business continues to thrive under new ownership while achieving personal and financial goals.

Following the Acquisition, a dedicated 6-month transitional support team will facilitate a seamless transition for both the buy and seller. By Implementing this transition team, it will build a solid foundation and protecting the legacy with respect and care. This process creates a strategic bridge between its current state and its future. (See below for a few actions by Team Integrators)
