As a business owner, Bill truly understands the needs, goals, desires, and concerns of his clients as they enter the process of selling or buying a business. Bill has over 40 years of business ownership experience; concentrating in the last 30 years on the business brokerage and M&A industry first with his own brokerage boutique firm and then as a Business Intermediary and Regional Developer for Murphy Business Sales. Bill is also the former President of the Northern Ohio Business Brokers Association: NOBBA. This entrepreneurial background allows Bill to be positioned strategically to the benefit of his clients; whether they are owners looking to exit (sell) their business or buyers looking to enter business ownership.
Bill’s reputation for advocacy is well documented by former and current clients. They will tell you that his attention to detail in preparing a business for sale is surpassed only by his insistence of confidentiality throughout the entire process of a business sale.
Bill was originally from the east coast, then relocated in Ohio after attending Kent State University, earning a BBA in Marketing in the early 1970s. Yes, he was in attendance during the infamous shootings of 1970 and so was his soon to be bride of 50 years.
