Generational Group Executive Managing Director of M&A – Central Region, Michael Goss, and his team, led by Senior M&A Advisor, Andrew Byrd, successfully closed the transaction. Senior Managing Director Doug Morrow established the initial relationship with The Realm.

“Working with Chris Barton at Realm was a rewarding experience just because of his general love of life, and it was exciting to be able to help him to find the right partner in Great Range Capital,” said Goss.

Goss added, “It was also rewarding to help him remove some of the dozens of hats he wore daily, to live out a more focused and rewarding role at the Company, and be able to focus on more time with his lovely wife Danaca and his three amazing daughters!”
