I've spent the last 35 years of my life in public accounting. My passion as a CPA is to provide peace of mind, comfort and assurance to my clients. I enjoy the challenges of navigating the complex and everchanging universe of income tax compliance. I enjoy solving difficult problems with practical solutions. I believe in keeping things simple, straightforward and efficient. I began my career at Ernst & Whinney in 1987 as an auditor, which gave me a fantastic background into financial statement presentation and the interaction between the components of the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and footnote disclosure. As my career developed, I began to focus on income tax, and have since grown and developed a passion for tax law, research compliance and providing direction and advice to our clients.

I grew up in Nacogdoches, TX and graduated from Stephen F Austin State University. During my high school and college years, I had the wonderful experience of working in and helping to manage a large local lumber yard/building supply business. This inspired me to study accounting so that I could “better understand the numbers behind the business”.

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with family, playing games, solving puzzles, riding motorcycles, and traveling. I am a member and past president of the Whitehall Club, which is a social group of business leaders that meet weekly at the River Oaks C.C. I am a member/deacon at Tallowood Baptist Church. Member of AICPA, TXCPA and Houston Chapter of TXCPA.
