In addition, Chad Goodson has been appointed a managing director for the Southeast region, where he will co-manage the regional office with Dan Simonson. Finally, Fred Sherwood and Alex Covino have joined the company as district managers in the firm’s West region. Based in Irvine, Calif., the region is led by Managing Director George Pero.

“The rapid growth in demand for our services over the past year has allowed us to expand our team of M&A professionals to include a group of highly effective managing directors at five regional locations throughout the U.S.,” said founder and CEO Dave Cantin. “This is the most experienced team of M&A experts in the country — a team with considerable expertise both on the retail and wholesale sides of the business.”
