Al’s mission is to provide his clients with expert advice about the franchise industry, helping them navigate through the available data, match their lifestyle and financial requirements to the perfect franchise while maintaining the highest levels of honesty and integrity.

Al’s Personal Achievements

“Achievements are many but perhaps the two I am most proud of are:

“First, I returned to college after 25 years and received my Bachelors degree with a 3.97 GPA in 25 months. The second was the creation of 2 sales programs for the 8th largest chain of car dealerships that increased their sales from 700,000 to 4 million in 1 year of operation and are still in place today after 7 years running.”

Why Al Became a Broker

“I became a broker because it was time for me to be in business for myself. When I started this business my goals were to achieve the same goals I was successful at in the corporate world. I wanted to support my family, create wealth for the future, have flexibility, a fun business to operate, and help people at the same time. To date I have closed 9 deals in 15 months. While this is below my personal expectations in total number and in revenue I am certain I will get there by year two.

“I take pride in my ability to improve upon others ideas as well as improve my own. I work very hard at listening to what the clients are telling me what they want in a business. I feel I can read people pretty well as long as they are honest with me. My strengths are perseverance, determination, follow thought, the ability to lead, listening skills, and knowing when to back off or intervene on a client’s behalf. I always have a great feeling of accomplishment when I find the right fit for a client or help another broker become more successful.”
