I started a small landscape business as a kid and ran it through my college years. During that time, I developed a knack for managing the books and serving clients. To this day, I still love being outside and landscaping.

Experience

I help lead the Grand Rapids office’s manufacturing and distribution (M&D) practice, and I’m responsible for tax compliance and planning for clients. I focus on private equity portfolio companies, family-owned businesses, and internationally owned/active businesses, with my primary industry being M&D.

Clients appreciate that I understand their business, manage compliance, and keep them in front of tax planning ideas. At work, I’m known for my technical industry expertise, on-the-job mentoring, and love of Chicago pizza and the Cubs.

I love interacting with leaders and understanding how their business operates. In M&D specifically, seeing how the proverbial widget is made is a very enjoyable part of my career. With nearly 15 years of experience, I believe my ability to serve clients, come up with solutions, and be a good teammate are some of my best accomplishments.

I’m a member of the Illinois and Michigan CPA Societies and the AICPA. I earned my B.S. in accounting from Liberty University.

Outside of the office, I love spending time with my family, fishing, swimming, boating, landscaping, and grilling.
