Hi everyone! I figured the best way to get started on Searchfunder, and with my first post here, was to introduce myself. My name is Ron Gardner, and I'm the Founder and CEO of Gardner Acquisitions & Closings. I've owned several businesses and spent more than a decade working in healthcare administration before deciding to pursue entrepreneurship through acquisition full time. Our team is actively acquiring profitable lower middle market businesses, and I'm looking forward to closing on multiple acquisitions this year. More than anything, I'm excited to build relationships with the incredible people in this community. If you're a fellow searcher, investor, lender, broker, operator, or business owner, I'd love to connect. I believe the best opportunities come from strong relationships, and I'm always happy to see how we can help one another. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
