“I'm your huckleberry.”
Doc Holliday · Tombstone, 1993
Holding Company · Founder-Led Businesses
Huckleberry Holdings acquires and operates founder-led businesses for the long run — not to flip them, not on anyone else's clock.
We invest and operate with our own money, alongside seller financing where it fits. No outside fund, no fixed exit timeline forcing our hand.
We don't buy a business and walk away. We work alongside the people who built it, in the operations, learning what actually makes it run.
Our measure of success isn't just growth — it's a business with real systems, so it no longer depends on any one person to keep running well.
A residential remodeling and design-build firm serving the western Chicago suburbs, now under new ownership and building toward its next chapter — new systems, new leadership development, same craftsmanship the name has stood for since 1995.

Equal partners, distinct roles — no one at Huckleberry outranks the other two.
Three decades of business experience spanning sales, marketing, and technical leadership. Tim leads Huckleberry's strategy and vision, building the platform while completing his transition to full-time.
Before joining Huckleberry, TJ founded and built Official Finders, a sports-officiating services company he continues to lead today. He now runs day-to-day operations across the portfolio with the same instinct.
Don leads Huckleberry's financial strategy and controls — the rigor and precision behind every number the business runs on.
The name comes from Tombstone — Doc Holliday's answer when asked who was willing to stand and fight. It's the spirit we look for in the businesses we back, and the partners we back them with.
