CPA & Forensic Accounting

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo - September 1998.
  • Started my career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP in San Jose, California during the IPO boom of the late 1990’s.
  • Have run my own business for a majority of the last 20 years.
  • Certified Public Accountant in the state of California since January 2001.

Why I Love Numbers

Whether it is diagnosing a complicated spreadsheet and trying to find errors, or digging in deep to people's personal lives, I realized that my approach and skill set is quite the same.  I use my talent for deep investigative research alongside of my ability to deeply connect.  Then, I work my way through the process of:

  • Getting all the facts
  • Learning the backstory
  • Determining outside details
  • and, knowing where you want to go next

This skillset allows me offer my clients sound advice that they can use to move forward in their lives.
