Raised on a small family farm in Southern Ohio, JT’s work ethic was instilled early by working livestock and running tractors at a young age. He began his professional career at Kroger, investing 30+ years in corporate America serving in multiple senior leadership roles throughout the country. In addition, he also personally experienced the journey of starting, owning, and selling a multi-unit small business in Central Ohio.
JT brings his extensive business experience to Transworld Business Advisors, opening the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky office in 2023. He and his team assist clients in selling, valuating, franchising, and buying small businesses throughout the region. After 30+ successful transactions in less than 2 years, JT earned recognition as Transworld’s 2024 Rookie of the Year, and was inducted into the 2024 Transworld Circle of Excellence and President’s Club.
As a fellow small business owner committed to building relationships and trust, JT provides confidential, efficient, and results-driven service. Contact him today to start your next chapter!
