When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family. With two young kids, I don’t always have much time to myself, but when I do, I enjoy running and reading.

Experience

One day is never like the day before. Life in public accounting isn’t always predictable, but it’s the unexpected that really keeps things interesting. It’s especially rewarding to be able to collaborate with a client and see the growth and success they achieve.

I lead Plante Moran’s real estate and construction tax practice. We have an amazing group of professionals serving clients in this space. I have really enjoyed being part of developing the team and having the ability to influence their success.

I have more than 20 years of experience working with commercial and residential real estate entities, real estate funds, developers, home builders, investors, construction entities, and high-net-worth individuals. My goal is to help minimize our clients’ tax exposure by bringing a practical and balanced approach to the table.

I’m a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants, and I have a B.A. in accounting from Wayne State University.
