I started my first real business at the age of 26 with two children under the age of two and a very anxious wife. My passion is helping small business owners succeed. It is driven by my childhood experience of an extended family business that went bankrupt.
I have worked with hundreds of small businesses from start up to exit, in industries from manufacturing to software. My assistance has been primarily around taxes and finance, but I’ve also done extensive work with businesses on strategy and execution.
I attended the University of Oklahoma and am licensed as a Certified Public Accountant. Additionally, I have the Certified Management Accountant certification and am accredited in Business Valuation with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. I have been married for 30 years and have 3 adult children. I have worked as a commercial banker in a previous life, but please don’t hold that against me.
