Wildcat Acquisitions

The name Wildcat Acquisitions is a tribute to the Appalachian spirit—resourceful, resilient, and fiercely local.Paul grew up on a farm in western Kentucky, where hard work, loyalty, and a handshake meant something. That upbringing shaped his approach to business today: straightforward, steady, and rooted in long-term relationships.“Wildcat” is also a nod to the independent energy that runs through the South—from the hills of Appalachia to the backroads across the south. It represents Paul’s belief that great businesses don’t need flash or hype to matter. They need people who show up, get to work, and care.Wildcat Acquisitions isn’t a fund, broker, or firm with layers of advisors. It’s a family-led effort to buy one good business and run it with pride. Locally. Personally. For the long haul.
