About DJ
DJ has spent the bulk of his professional career helping small businesses grow. For example, while pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from Florida Gulf Coast University, DJ helped a specialty luxury auto dealership grow from a 1,300 sq/ft facility to a 15,000+ sq/ft facility, more than tripling inventory and sales, while keeping overhead nearly unchanged.

Ask DJ
What is your favorite thing about being a business broker?
“My favorite thing about being a business broker is helping business owners through the process of selling their business, something that these individuals often only go through once in their life.”
My favorite motivational quote is:
“My favorite motivational quote is from Sir Winston Churchill – ‘Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.’ It’s my favorite quote because it means that even if you are successful, you have to keep pursuing the end goal, success can be taken away with laziness and poor decision making. And every failure is a learning experience, there will always be opportunities to succeed. Nothing is final.”
