The right choice for people serious about finding the right franchise opportunity

My franchise industry know-how and business experience allow me to see around corners many other consultants miss and guide you to a franchise that best suits your strengths

Avoid THE Elephant in the Room: Choosing the Wrong Franchise Consultant to Help in Your Search

With over 2,000 individuals in the United States self-describing themselves as a franchise consultant, franchise advisor or franchise broker how do you know who to choose to work with?


Because there’s no barrier to entry into franchising consulting, anyone can self-describe themselves that way. It can be a daunting process, just identifying who can best assist in finding the right opportunity for you. My advice is to choose a consultant with strong and certified experience in the franchising industry.


Along the way, I’ve learned a thing or two about selecting the WRONG Franchise… I Can Help You Avoid That

For the past 25 years, I’ve devoted my professional career to franchising. Working from today backwards I…

Founded my own franchise consulting firm, Career Transition Authority®, and am an affiliate of the prestigious and award-winning franchise brokerage The Entrepreneur Authority

In the 2000’s I worked closely with franchise owners within the Miracle-Ear system. I personally recruited and facilitated awarding franchises to about 25% of the entire Miracle-Ear franchise system

In the 1990’s I worked closely with franchise dealer store owners for Sears

And today, I also serve as a trusted senior franchise sales advisor for another award-winning firm of franchise consultants – The iFranchise Group, providing world-class sales training for emerging and mature franchisors.

And of course, I’ve picked up a thing or two about Running a Business as well!

Another deciding factor should be level of education and mine is what I call franchising’s educational “trifecta”.


I’ve earned…

A degree in Franchise Management from Georgetown University

The highest level of accreditation in Franchising – Certified Franchise Executive (CFE)

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Phoenix

Collectively, I will leverage my educational experience and practical day-to-day knowledge to strategically guide your search.

And Yes, I Do Have a Real Life and You Should Too

I am a lover of life and my family. I enjoy traveling, listening to all types of music and am a classic car enthusiast. I’ve created a life for myself which provides freedom and independence…all foundationally built on the incredible and fascinating industry of Franchising. While my offices are in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul, Minnesota, my services are available nationally.
