Our Team

Ken Garron

Our mission at TEO is to help people who are in career transition, whether intentional or not, or those looking for an investment for the future … and those just exploring their options. Our number one goal is to help you determine if business ownership is right for you and, if so, what type of business would lead to success for you. It’s as simple as that! No pressure. No obligation.

Explore your options. Discover your path!
