Founder and President

With more than 30 years of experience in business ownership, commercial real estate, construction, and business brokerage, CJ has built a career helping entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners achieve successful business transactions. As the founder and president of Sunrise Business Brokers, Inc., CJ combines real-world business ownership with decades of brokerage and real estate experience to provide clients with knowledgeable, honest, and results-driven representation. CJ began his professional career in the real estate industry where he spent more than three decades assisting clients with commercial and investment real estate transactions. Over the years, he developed transaction management, extensive expertise in business valuation, contract negotiations, financing, and investment analysis. His real estate background provides clients with unique perspective on how business operations, property leases, and financing work together to create value.

Beyond brokerage, CJ is an accomplished entrepreneur who successfully owned and operated a large construction company and a highly successful asphalt paving company. Building and managing these businesses gave him first-hand experience in every aspect of business ownership from estimating operations, equipment management, staffing, and customer relations to finance management, strategic growth, and ultimately preparing businesses for sale.Because he has personally faced the same challenges as his clients, he understands the hard work, dedication, and commitment required to build a successful business.

Throughout his years, CJ has participated in hundreds of business brokerage transactions, working closely with buyers, sellers, attorneys, accountants, lenders, financial institutions, and other professionals to help facilitate successful acquisitions and sales across a wide variety of industries. His intense transaction experience allowed him to confidently guide clients through every phase of the process, including business valuation, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiations, due diligence, financing, coordination, and closing. CJ believes that business has a story. Every owner has a goal, and every buyer deserves honest guidance. He takes pride in maintaining the highest level of confidentiality while providing exceptional personal service throughout every transaction.

His commitment is not simply to sell businesses, but to create successful matches between qualified buyers and motivated sellers that result in long-term success for everyone involved. Whether you're preparing to sell a closely held family business, purchase your first company, expand through acquisition, or invest in an established operation, CJ brings the experience, professionalism, and practical business knowledge needed to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
