About

SCP is founded by David Winsen. David is a lifelong entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience building, owning, and operating companies across a wide range of industries. He is now seeking to acquire and personally lead a single, well-run business in the Southwest. Rather than acting as a fund or passive investor, David intends to step in full-time as the company's next owner-operator — preserving what makes it special, supporting its people, and guiding its next chapter of growth alongside the team that built it.

Operating Background

Across three decades, David has founded and run companies in industries as varied as jewelry manufacturing, fine art sales, internet marketing, and telehealth, along with a range of other small and Main Street businesses. That breadth has given him hands-on command of the disciplines a small business depends on every day — sales and marketing, operations, customer relationships, and the practical judgment required to lead a company through change and growth.

Approach and Commitment

  • A hands-on owner, not a spreadsheet. David will run the business full-time as its next owner — present, accountable, and invested.
  • Legacy and culture come first. A genuine commitment to protecting the company's name, its employees, and its customer relationships.
  • Practical, disciplined growth. Sensible improvements to marketing, pricing, and operations — drawn from real operating experience.
