The Operator's Story
I started Varotech L.L.C. to solve a real problem: Arizona small businesses were underserved by IT providers who treated them like afterthoughts. Varotech changed that — building long-term relationships with Arizona businesses, handling their technology infrastructure so they could focus on running their companies.
Running Varotech taught me how small businesses actually work: the cash flow cycles, the key-person dependencies, the customer relationships that take years to build and seconds to lose. I know what makes a business fragile and what makes it resilient — because I've lived it.
Provision Equity Group is the next chapter. The same operator discipline, applied to acquiring businesses from founders who built something real and deserve a buyer who will run it with the same care they did.
"Most buyers see a business as a spreadsheet. I see it as something somebody spent 20 years building. That changes how you run it."
