About Jeremy

Navy pilot turned investor and entrepreneur.

I grew up in Allen, served as a Navy helicopter pilot, and have built my career around investing in, operating, and improving founder-led companies.

We are back in North Texas to plant roots, raise our young family, and build something lasting here. ETL Fund is my focused search for an established local business to buy, own, and operate for the long term. If you want the longer version of my background, my personal site is linked below.

Why this search

I am better at building on what already works.

My strength is not starting from zero. It is taking a good business with real customers, a real team, and real operating knowledge, then helping it become more durable and less dependent on one person.

I moved back to North Texas with my family because I want to build here. The right company is not a trade. It is the next chapter of my operating life.

Operator proof

Useful experience, applied directly.

The point of the resume is simple: can I walk into a real company and help it get stronger?
