Started Information Exchange, Inc. in 1981. At first, this company handled the sale of businesses, all kinds. In 1983 the focus was limited to the sale of campgrounds and RV parks. In early 1987 Information Exchange was dissolved and I started CAMPGROUND DATA, a brokerage and consulting company devoted to the campground industry. We sell and consult on a regional basis, serving the east coast of the United States.

CAMPGROUND BUYERS SEMINARS were started in 1985. They have proven very successful in educating buyers about the campground purchasing process. I have put on the seminar at state and regional campground ownership groups. In 1999 that seminar was put into a home study workbook and can be purchased for only $129. 

PRESENTATIONS TO NATIONAL AND REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS. Along with state organizations, I have put on presentations at the National Campground Owners (ARVIC) Conventions and the Northeast Campground Association Conventions. These usually have been on the selling process, campground evaluation or business improvement.

CAMPGROUND CHECK-UP was originated in 1989. This service is a third party look at a campground and has many purposes; valuation, ideas for improvement, feasibility of expansion, etc. To date we have done over 1098 CHECK-UPS from Florida to upstate New York. These are done mainly to determine value. I have done valuations for banks for the purchase of the park and refinancing. I have done appraisals for SBA loans and for the courts.

SALES Over the last 22 years, I have been involved in over 166 RV park sales and/or purchases, either as broker or consultant.
