Michael, the founder of True Vine Capital, is a native born Texan and has lived in the state nearly all his life. His education originally took him to Austin, where he studied at the University of Texas and was incredibly blessed to wear the orange and white, playing football for the Longhorns. He earned each of his undergraduate, law and MBA degrees from UT. Michael and his wife currently reside in Austin, and are grateful to be a part of its rich community.

Over the past decade, Michael has assisted many business owners in Texas and across the nation with the purchase or sale of their business as a trusted mergers and acquisitions attorney, grown and scaled high-performing teams, trained in a Fortune 500 operational excellence accelerator, and been responsible for sourcing and allocation of institutional capital within private capital markets.

Founding True Vine Capital was the culmination of a lifetime of diverse business experiences that birthed an ever growing desire to lead and steward a small business into its next era, preserving the rich legacy of his predecessor owners. Michael is fortunate to have many advisors, friends and mentors that have helped him along the way on his entrepreneurial journey.

The name True Vine Capital is inspired by a double meaning: it is both the location of Michael’s first date with his wife, which took place at the True Vine Brewing Company in Tyler, TX (see picture), and is a reference to one of his favorite teachings of the Bible.

As a company founded on faith-based principles and values, True Vine Capital is committed to conducting all of its business operations with the utmost integrity, honesty and diligence, so you can expect that from us each and every day that we work together.
