Over the past 15 years Joe has valued hundreds of early to late stage companies in various industries. Some of his focus areas have been technology (software, ecommerce and online content), wineries, craft beverages and sports. For the past 11 years Joe has led the business valuation practice for Frank, Rimerman + Co.

We’ve known Joe as a business valuation colleague and referral partner for years. Joe’s talents, wealth of valuation knowledge and leadership will enable ESGI to expand services to the Pacific Northwest, build our valuation services team, and continue our journey from good to great. With Joe on board, I will return my focus to M&A transaction engagements and supporting our team of seasoned M&A brokers.
