Fred is the CEO of Affordable Business Valuations. He received his bachelor’s degree in business from U.C. Berkeley and his MBA from San Diego State University.

He was a business loan officer with Union Bank, making business loans from $1 million to over $8 million. Fred left Union Bank to buy and operate a hardware company with his wife, Joanie, in Portola Valley, California, then built two “ground-up” stores. Twenty-seven years later they sold their $5 million lumberyard in Amador County.

Fred joined Sunbelt, a major business brokerage company, in 2003 and three years later formed Compass Point Capital, a mergers and acquisitions company specializing in businesses with revenues between $3 million and $25 million. In 2004 he pursued an education with the IBA (Institute of Business Appraisers) to become a certified valuation expert with a CBA credential. As a business valuation expert, Fred has done over 600 valuations for business owners, SBA lenders, 401K equity transactions, IRS valuations, partnership dissolutions, and divorces as well as offering expert witness testimony. He has also spent thousands of hours in research creating a low-cost, accurate valuation program.

When he is not doing valuations you can catch him running 5k’s through downtown Jackson in the mornings
