As the firm’s national practice leader for governance services, our practice strives to help clients solve complex technical accounting, cybersecurity, accounting outsourcing, and risk matters. I oversee the overall strategic direction and growth of these practices while serving a base of risk management clients. Additionally, I serve as the risk officer for the management consulting practice.
I specialize in the automotive, Japanese business services, family office, and healthcare industries. My clients appreciate that I don’t simply tell them what they should do; instead, I work shoulder-to-shoulder with them to devise a solution that has buy-in at multiple levels of the organization. This approach, I believe, provides the greatest path to sustainable success.
Colleagues know me for having a measured, reasonable approach to problems. Much of my role is supporting the governance services practice and helping find ways to work together to best serve our clients.
I like this career because every single day is different. While the technical elements of the job are stimulating, I really enjoy the problem-solving element of consulting. I have more than 20 years’ experience and have had the great fortune to work with some of the best mentors anyone could ask for. My aim is to pay this forward to our team.
I belong to the Institute of Internal Auditors and Family Office Exchange, as well as the MICPA and AICPA. I routinely speak with audit committees and boards of directors to discuss emerging risk management and threats. Most importantly, we focus on the opportunity that lies in risk for organizations. Additionally, I present at state CPA boards on internal audit, internal controls, and risk management topics. I earned my B.A. in finance, a B.A. in economics, and my M.B.A. from Michigan State University.
My wife and I have three beagles. In addition to that, I’m an avid cook, golfer, and have competed in multiple triathlons.
