I Buy Small to Medium Size Businesses
with revenues between $3MM and $6MM
Welcome to my website! I've earned three degrees, climbed the corporate ladder, launched small businesses, served in the c-suite of a small business and invested in real estate. Yet still have so much to learn.
​
My experiences have fueled my passion for entrepreneurship and business ownership. I hope that I can be the solution to those small business owners out there that are looking to exit.

About Me
Engineer, Investor, Family Man
Hello, and welcome to my website! My name is Samson Kay, and I'm a Cambodian American hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts.
​
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts and a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnical Institute. In 2019, I received my MBA in General Business Management from the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago. These degrees have given me a well-rounded education that allows me to approach business problems from both an engineering and management perspective.
​
Over the last 15 years, I have worked in a variety of industries, including power (coal, oil and gas, and nuclear) and have designs and patents in several engineered products such as valves, pumps, and motors. My passion lies in management and strategy, and I have worked on dedicated project teams ranging from just six people to whole organizations as large as 50. During these experiences, I have developed a talent for launching new products, creating new patents, and growing businesses. These days I've switched my focus to strategic business acquisition and investing in Real Estate.
​
In my personal life, I currently reside in the Cincinnati, OH. I am happily married to my wife, Ellika, and we have two young children, Mila and Liam. Outside of work, I enjoy snowboarding, motorsports, and traveling. These hobbies allow me to recharge my batteries and explore new places and experiences.
​
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, and I hope we can work together in the future.
