For the last fifteen years, Mr. Querard has focused exclusively on the middle market, helping business owners and investors maximize the value of their investments.  Mr. Querard frequently advises buyers looking to make middle market acquisitions, some strategic and some synergistic.  Drawing on his extensive experience working with buyers, Mr. Querard offers insightful direction to business owners looking for an exit strategy, growth capital or a structured way to maximize their value.  Being a business owner himself, he understands the on-going challenges of business ownership and how they must be balanced to properly exit a business.

Mr. Querard has held several board positions, helping companies develop and implement strategic growth and exit plans.  He received his undergraduate degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Colorado School of Mines, his J.D. from Georgetown University, and is also an Investment Advisor.
