My Story
Born and raised right here in the Arizona desert, I'm a proud Arizona State University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, summa cum laude. Though I attended both ASU and the UofA, I'm still a Wildcat at heart but definitely show my fellow Sun Devils love. It's fair to say I'm usually quite torn during rivalry games.
What makes me different isn't just my accounting degree and credentials, it's everything I learned before I became an accountant.
I've Been Where You Are
​
My career started in hotel management and development, opening properties across the West Coast. I learned what it takes to launch a business, manage operations, and keep customers happy while watching every penny.
I also spent 7+ years at an advertising agency, managing integrated marketing campaigns for global iconic brands such as Uber, Apple, and Adidas. I saw firsthand how strategic financial planning, smart budgeting, and data-driven decisions separate successful companies from the rest.
This Unique Background Changes Everything
​
When I help with your business, taxes or financial strategy, I'm not just filling out forms. I understand the business decisions behind those numbers. When we work on your financial strategy, I've been in the executive meetings where those budgets get allocated. When you're starting a business, you can rest assured that I've been there across all different industries and I have a tried and true method to ensure compliance and success, allowing you to stay focused on your product, your service, or your craft.
Most accountants see numbers. I see the story those numbers tell about your business and your goals.

When I'm Not Crunching Numbers
​
You'll find me on the golf course (always looking to improve that handicap), hiking Arizona's incredible trails, or spending time at home with my wife and our two dogs.
I believe work-life balance isn't just something I preach to clients - it's how I live. And yes, I absolutely take calls from clients when they need help, but I also know that sustainable business success comes from building systems that work even when you're not working.
