Who I work with
I primarily work with small businesses across a variety of industries, but mostly in the health club space. I help my clients navigate the financial and tax complexities of selling their business and recasting their financials to maximize value.
My specialty
I specialize in helping business owners manage complex payroll, fixed asset requirements, large capital expenditures, and cash-to-1099 employee transitions. Many of my clients come to me seeking help with managing their internal accounting functions, streamlining their accounts payable (AP) processes, and monetizing the value of their businesses.
Results I have delivered
$10–$15 million

Unique things about me
Over the past 20 years, I have spent most of my free time coaching baseball — it’s a passion of mine!
When I am not at work
You can find me traveling the country, golfing, camping, backpacking, or spending time with my family.
Affiliations
I earned my Master of Science (M.S.T.) in Taxation from DePaul University and my Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) from the University of Missouri. I am a member of the AICPA and have served as treasurer for several baseball clubs and leagues in my community.
