Built by someone who's been in your shoes
I started as an agency owner. I know what it’s like to carry the sales pressure, the payroll pressure, and the “everything runs through me” pressure.
Acquisitions changed the math for me. I’ve acquired over 20+ companies, advised hundreds of diligences, and helped agency owners buy growth, reduce key-person risk, and build a business that’s actually sellable.
I created DAB to give agency owners the roadmap, the room, and the standards to build sellable agencies, and exit on their terms.
