About Me

I have had the pleasure of growing up in and never leaving Austin. I attended the University of Texas and graduated in 1991 with dual BBA degrees in Accounting and Finance. I received my CPA certificate in 1993. After working in both public accounting and industry, in 2000 I started my own accounting practice and enjoy working out of my home.  I have two boys; one in college and one still in high school. In my spare time, I enjoy long road trips, scuba diving, exercising, eating good food, and I am a bit of a high school marching band and Drum Corp International enthusiast.

Over the past few years, the focus of my practice has turned more towards strategic tax planning.  I am now a Certified Tax Coach, and love coming up with ways to save or defer taxes for my clients.  I can add the most value to those who own a business and working closely with them to determine the best entity selection and tax strategy for them, their partners, and families.
