After a few years of swinging a hammer, I started my own successful painting business.This blue-collar start to my career instilled a deep appreciation for small businesses and the role they play in the local economy.For the past 15 years I've been a Marketing Manager, leading teams at agencies, on brand marketing teams, and as an independent consultant.I recently founded nTrusted Capital with the goal of acquiring one exceptional small business. My wife and I have a dream to own a small business and provide for our young family.
