A Long-Term, Operator-Led Buyer

Acquiring one mature business in the NY Metro Area and operating it for the long term.

Why Five Mile?

The name comes from a standard that shaped the firm’s early roots: the five‑mile run at U.S. Army Ranger School. The lesson was simple — show up, put in the work, and meet the standard every single day.

Five Mile Partners reflects that same mindset: you earn your spot every day through consistent, disciplined execution.
