ABOUT FAIRWATER PARTNERS

We’re former US Navy nuclear submarine officers, engineers, corporate general managers and P&L owners educated at the US Naval Academy and at Stanford and Wharton business schools.

Our companies are our sole investments and livelihoods. We answer to no outside investors and are focused exclusively on building great companies for the long-term.


WHY “FAIRWATER”

Fairwater planes are physical control surfaces located on the sides of submarine’s sail - diving planes that assist in controlling a submarine’s depth. The USS Albuquerque, on which Nick and Dan served together, was one of the few US Navy nuclear fast-attack submarines equipped with Fairwater planes.

The term Fairwater also implies smooth seas and fine weather - conditions ripe for a rewarding underway Navy day. We are dedicated to providing a smooth and rewarding transition not only to the businesses that we acquire, but also to the business owner who has chosen to pass his or her legacy on to us.
