Pat attended the University of Alabama majoring in Business Administration and started her career in sales of commercial products. Pat’s focus soon became targeted towards larger transactions and she entered residential Real Estate sales in South Florida. Further dedication and disciplines of interest led to Commercial Real Estate sales. While in real estate sales she earned the GRI (Graduate of Realtors Institute) certification. In 1989 she was introduced to Merger & Acquisitions and fell in love with the challenge and rewards that selling Companies gave her.

Pat started her own M&A Company in 1990 and decided to sell and relocate after her children graduated from college. She moved to Georgia in 2000 affiliating with a company here until she decided to open her own firm. She earned the CBI (Certified Business Intermediary) designation in 1992 with the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and the M&AMI (Merger & Acquisition Master Intermediary) certification in 2005 with the M&A Source. In 2015 she earned the CM&AP (Certified M&A Professional) at Coles College of Business (KSU).

She served on the Board of Governors with the M&A Source as Education Chair for 6 years and is recognized locally and throughout the United States as a developer, author and approved instructor of education courses with the M&A Source and the IBBA University.

Pat specializes in B2B Service companies, Manufacturing, wholesale distribution,
Strategic Business Valuations, and Consulting services to maximize the value of a transaction from a proactive planning perspective. She is a licensed real estate broker in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina.

Her hobbies include gardening and “repurposing” items she finds “treasure hunting” in thrift stores and antique shops. She also enjoys relaxing with a good book when time permits.
