Great businesses are built on strong relationships, steady leadership, and a commitment to people and community.I grew up in a small town where my parents built a business by putting customers first and treating every employee with care. Watching them showed me that a business can do more than provide a service - it can create lasting impact in a community. That lesson has stayed with me, and today I want to pass those same values on to my own children.Over the past 15 years I've led teams and managed businesses where the work was complex, but success always came down to people, clarity, and consistency. These experiences have prepared me to step in on day one as a responsible owner, honoring a company's culture while building for the future.I founded Heather Park Partners to acquire and operate one great business for the long term. Backed by my own capital and a trusted network of experienced partners, I can move efficiently to close a transaction while committing to stability for employees, customers, and the owner's legacy.I am excited to continue the legacy of a great business and help it thrive in its next chapter.
Every conversation starts with listening to an owner's story and understanding what makes their business tick.I approach each conversation with respect and discretion, welcoming private conversations with owners who are beginning to consider transition - even if the timing isn't immediate. I enjoy these conversations and aim to make every conversation worthwhile for the owner.When the time comes to sell, my goal is to preserve what made it special - its people, its culture, and its reputation - while helping it grow thoughtfully into the next chapter.I take a long-term view of business ownership, grounded in stability, stewardship, and care. My commitment is to work closely with owners, employees, and customers to ensure a smooth transition and a strong future.We focus on:Respecting legacy: honoring the hard work that built the business.Supporting teams: investing in people, not replacing them.Sustainable growth: building for resilience, not just short-term gains.Clear communication: being transparent and dependable throughout the process.
