RESULTS / BUSINESS CHAPTERS & CONVERSATIONS

The work tells
the story.

A closer look at the businesses, relationships, and practical problems behind my approach.

01 / EPS PRODUCTSMUNICIPAL SERVICES

Built a recurring
grease-management service.

I founded EPS Products around municipal grease management. Working with those customers helped me see how the business could complement the services offered by Duke’s Root Control.

I approached Duke’s, and the business was acquired.

My role
Founder; identified and approached the strategic buyer.

02 / MIDWEST WATER GROUP → RMSBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
$5.5M

Service business in 36 months

I helped turn Midwest Water Group’s manufacturer representative operation around with the team. From 2017 to 2020, we developed RMS Utility Services from one inspection truck and one employee into a $5.5 million service business with 25 employees before acquisition—a 36-month turnaround.

The opportunity was to connect how cities find damaged pipes and manholes with the services needed to fix them. Inspection, repair, customer relationships, and a team’s experience became a more complete offering.

Duke’s company history records the Midwest Water Group acquisition in 2020.

I created a platform for conversations with public works leaders, engineers, business owners, customers, and employees.

More useful first meetings

I actually prefer these initial video meetings this way—nothing worse than wasting a whole day or multiple days just to discover we are not a good fit.

Where Bidcurement fits.

Bidcurement is a done-for-you video procurement system: buyer discovery, opportunity promotion, vendor interviews, verification, and AI-assisted comparison. In the Toledo pilot, six vendors were identified and the comparison was delivered in 14 days.
