As forecast in my post a year ago, 2017 was my breakout year as a business broker. Just returned from another awesome Murphy Business Conference in Palm Coast, FL where I earned Murphy’s professional designation as a Board Certified Intermediary (BCI). I was also recognized as a multi-million-dollar producer as well as a top producer among my peers. That said, as in team sports, few accomplish lofty goals without help and support. Thanks to my Regional Managers David Hamm and Dan Machnicki who have mentored, coached and given me the benefit of their experience. Thanks to Tom Coba, Evelyn Correa, Brandy Penta and the entire Murphy team who provide among many things, the opportunity, the back-office support, write-ups and internet advertising. Here’s to an even better 2018!

With his experience and energy, no doubt awesome things lie ahead for Murphy. I also spent a little time with my regional managers, David Hamm and Paul Freeman. And kudos to Evelyn Correa and her team for organizing a great conference! 2017 is going to be my break out year thanks to all the support I get from the Murphy organization!
