Welcome to our company! My business partner and I are excited to introduce our new venture focused on acquiring and growing small businesses. Due to our shared passion for fostering business success, this journey represents a significant career change for both of us.
Kelly Hebert
Professional Background
Before venturing into the world of business acquisitions, I spent my career as a Senior Technology Leader. My extensive experience in software delivery and management of software systems has equipped me with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of compliance with specifications. As an analytical team player with proven supervisory abilities, I have excelled in management and planning, ensuring successful software product launches and improving legacy systems.
Throughout my career, I have provided process design implementation, project management and defect elimination, consistently delivering results that met and exceeded expectations. My strong understanding of the software development life cycle has been the cornerstone of my professional achievements.
Personal Interests
Originally from Louisiana, I am a passionate supporter of the New Orleans Saints and the LSU football teams (Geaux Tigers!). My love for sports extends beyond being a spectator; I am currently working on improving my golf game. As any golf enthusiast knows, there is always room for improvement, and I embrace the challenge.
Fitness is a significant part of my life. I have participated in several triathlons, half marathons, and a full marathon, and I am an avid gym-goer who loves lifting heavy things. Staying active and pushing my limits in fitness keeps me grounded and focused.
Why Business Acquisitions?
After many years in the technology sector, I sought a career change that would allow me to leverage my analytical skills, leadership abilities, and passion for helping businesses grow. Acquiring small businesses presents a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact, fostering growth and innovation in various industries.

I am excited about the possibilities ahead and look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals and businesses. Whether you are interested in collaborating, seeking advice, or simply want to chat about sports or fitness, feel free to reach out. Together, we can achieve great things and drive success in the small business landscape.
Brooks Quinlan
Professional Journey
I’ve dedicated over 26 years to leading and managing non-profit organizations. My career has been driven by a passion for creating nurturing work environments where individuals can strive to become the best versions of themselves. Throughout my career, I have prided myself on my ability to quickly connect with people from all walks of life, finding common ground to foster understanding and cooperation. This ability has been instrumental in my efforts to drive organizational success and impact. My career path has been rich and varied, ranging from humble beginnings with grunt work for a landscaping company to serving as the CEO of a 100 plus year old non-profit.
One of the highlights of my career was leading a transformative hike along the Appalachian Trail. I hiked nearly 800 miles with seven at-risk youth who faced a future likely leading to the prison system. This journey was more than just a physical challenge; it was a mission to provide mentorship, guidance, and hope to young individuals at a critical juncture in their lives.
Career Sabbatical and Personal Interests
In 2020, I took a career sabbatical to explore new horizons. I traveled across the western United States, funding my journey by picking up various odd jobs. This time allowed me to reconnect with nature, explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, and gain fresh perspectives that have enriched my life both personally and professionally. Beyond my professional life, I am deeply passionate about the outdoors, always eager to find hidden travel destinations that offer unique and authentic experiences. I also love playing the guitar, constantly learning new songs to express my creativity and unwind.
Why Business Acquisitions?
As I continue to navigate my professional career, I remain committed to making a positive impact, fostering environments where people can thrive, and always seeking new adventures that contribute to personal growth and community betterment. Owning and managing small businesses has always been a dream of mine. There is no time like the present. So when my good friend, and now business partner, pitched the idea to collaborate on this venture, it was a no-brainer decision!
