Certified to practice public accounting in both Arizona and Colorado, I began a private practice in Summit County during 1996 providing tax preparation and planning services with emphasis in real estate and construction issues to individuals and businesses. I assist clients in developing financial plans and budgets, evaluating and installing accounting systems, and developing their financial statements. My background also includes serving as an officer of the Court in roles such as Business Receiver, Guardian, Conservator, and Personal Representative.

Prior to developing my practice, I have greater than 10 years work experience with Martin Marietta, General Dynamics and Phelps Dodge Corporations performing financial management activities such as developing budgets, measuring financial performance, creating new business proposals, analyzing financial systems, and improving processes. In addition to the financial management tasks, I have analyzed accounting systems and documentation in support of both civil and criminal financial investigations related to potential business fraud, including deceptive and defective pricing.
