You've spent years building your business. When the time comes to step back, you want to know it goes to someone who will protect your legacy, take care of your team, and be there every day running it.

I'm looking for one business to buy and run myself—not as part of a portfolio, but as my full-time commitment. If you're a business owner starting to think about your options—or even if you're just curious—I'd love to talk.

I founded Palmetto & Pine out of a lifelong respect for the small and medium-sized businesses that sustain our country.  As the son of Vietnamese refugees, I grew up hearing stories of hard work and resilience—lessons that shaped my deep appreciation for the men and women who dedicate themselves to building something lasting for their employees, customers, and communities.

My career spans operating leadership roles, investing, and partnering with business owners to pursue long-term growth. From advising infrastructure firms and investing in private companies to expanding critical services for customers, the throughline of my work has been a commitment to creating economic opportunities.

I've worked across multiple industries including healthcare, energy, logistics, and technology, always focused on sustainable impact. Through Palmetto & Pine, I'm dedicated to helping business owners protect their legacy, invest in their people, and ensure a thoughtful transition.
