by a searcher from University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in Chicago, IL, USA

Pursuing front office buy-side roles, but after reading the infamous “Buy then Build”, rapidly going down the path of considering acquiring a small business to see if an opportunity presents itself. I want to make sure I’m ready, so I’m here.

Briefly my background:
- US Navy vet who led maritime security teams
- 3 degrees focused on economics and financial markets
- currently work at New York Fed where I monitor/analyze markets, implement monetary policy and advise policymakers

Open to all industries but curious about manufacturing, home/construction services, and wealth management.


Appreciative of any and all advice/connections so feel free to reach me at my LinkedIn (profile) or email: redacted or here!
