Who we are
We are a Cleveland Heights–based family business committed to building great local companies for the long term. As a family, we believe in hard work, integrity, and treating people the right way—values that guide every decision we make.
Our journey began in property investing, where we own and managed a portfolio of residential homes across Northeast Ohio. Through that experience, we developed a deep appreciation for operating businesses, managing people, and creating long-term value.
