In my own words

“Aspire has assembled what I believe to be perhaps the only fully integrated, multidisciplinary team approach to private equity investing in the mid and upper microcap physician practice and provider-centric company market sectors. While we certainly work very effectively with practices with greater than $2 Million in annual EBITDA, our unique team approach gives us the flexibility to also work with much smaller practices. Through our PE Incubation Initiative® we can engage our operational advisory services with small practices and shepherd them through a growth plan that ultimately results in a successful liquidity event for our physician partners. Candidly, this is unique in the private equity industry.”

“It has been exciting to see the unique Aspire business thesis take form and be implemented, but the greatest thrill has been to see the success it has garnered for our firm and our physician partners. At Aspire, almost every day brings new challenges and opportunities and I relish the opportunity to use my experience and skills, along-side those of my business and physician partners, to move our portfolio companies further towards the ultimate goal of a substantial liquidity event.”
