About Me

Throughout my career, using technology to make work easier and teaching finance professionals has been my passion.  I'm excited to work with businesses and share my knowledge in these areas, to create efficiency improvements and relieve the stress on the finance departments.  I'm a CPA with over 20 years of experience in public accounting, where I was a partner in a local firm.  My career transitioned to a CFO role with a rapidly growing technology client after they completed a private equity placement.  Since then I have worked on projects in manufacturing and banking.  My mission in these roles has been to create highly functioning finance teams that serve the organization and provide the best business decisioning information available.
