INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
Acquiring and operating a Texas-based industrial or field service business for long-term ownership and continuity
Led by an experienced operator with a background in construction and industrial services.
About
I’m an operator with over 20 years of experience in finance, operations, and leadership within construction and industrial service businesses.Most recently, I served as President of a Texas-based construction services company, where I led operational scaling, team development, and multi-location growth.I am acquiring and leading a single strong business, with a focus on building on what already works: supporting the team, strengthening operations where needed, and driving long-term, sustainable growth.
Stewardship
I’m looking to acquire a business to own and operate long-term—not to flip.My goal is to build on what you’ve already created: support your team, maintain your reputation with customers, and continue growing the business thoughtfully over time.I understand that for many owners, this business represents years of work, relationships, and pride. Preserving that while continuing to strengthen the company is central to how I approach ownership.I’m also flexible in how a transition occurs, whether that involves a defined transition period or ongoing involvement from the owner. This approach is grounded in hands-on operating experience and a focus on practical execution.
What We’re Looking For
Texas-based (DFW preferred)
Industrial and field service businesses
Recurring or essential services
$5M-$15M revenue (flexible)
Owner considering transition
Sample Verticals
I focus on service businesses that are either uptime-critical or compliance-driven. These are areas where I have experience and where consistent execution is critical to customer operations.
| Uptime-Critical Services |
|---|
| Services that keep facilities operating, such as: |
| * Industrial Refrigeration |
| * Electrical Testing and Maintenance |
| * Air Compressor Service |
| * Backup Power / Generator Service |
| Compliance-Driven Services |
|---|
| Services required for safety and regulation, such as: |
| * Fire protection inspection and service |
| * Emissions testing |
| * Water and wastewater testing |
| * Backflow testing |
Transaction Approach
I am prepared to move efficiently when there is a strong fit.I work with experienced lenders and investment partners and structure transactions with a combination of debt, equity, and seller participation as appropriate.My focus is on creating a structure that works for both the seller and the long-term health of the business—and on moving efficiently to a close.
Why This Approach
I’m not looking to buy and resell businesses—I’m looking to own and operate a business long-term.That means a focus on continuity: supporting your team, maintaining your customer relationships, and building on what you’ve created rather than changing it for its own sake.For an owner, the right successor is not just a buyer—it’s someone who will carry the business forward with care and accountability.
