Dry Creek Partners' mission is to build (on) a championship caliber organization. Founding Partner Tom Santi has a dedication to team building and competitive success that stems from his service as University of Virginia football team captain and later as a tight end for the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL. He believes the qualities that define great teams on the field - leadership, commitment, relentless effort - also characterize great businesses.

Tom is backed by a diverse group including seasoned institutional investors, successful entrepreneurs and a two-time Super Bowl Champion. We aim to leverage that combined experience to create value for all stakeholders while steering the company into its next phase.

We bring a liquidity option for owners looking to step back from the company’s day-to-day operations while maintaining their legacy and the continuity of the business following their departure. Our commitment to creating long-term value ensures the company’s mission stays true over time.
