Zabel Companies Team

Bill spent most of his time growing up on a farm just outside of Roanoke, VA. Having married a woman from Charlotte, NC, he has finally come to terms with living in a city and calling Charlotte home. Bill spent his weekends over the last fifteen years shuttling his four kids to various sporting events. He is now an empty-nester and is adept at finding ways to get out of the city to spend time in the woods or on the water. Bill is an avid hunter and fisherman and also enjoys reading and hiking. Bill has been investing in lower middle market companies since 1999. Having been raised by a father that was running a family business, Bill enjoys the unique opportunities and genuine people often found in the lower middle market. His prior experience includes international corporate finance work and operating an environmental services company. Bill graduated from Wake Forest University devoid of any academic honors of consequence. He earned his MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.
