When I look back on my 30 plus years with the firm, my proudest accomplishment is leading our nationally recognized for profit healthcare (Commercial Healthcare) and consumer facing services teams that have unparalleled deep expertise with clients that include small start-ups to internationally recognized companies. A huge part of this success was developing a team that could bring outstanding service to these clients through each stage of their lifecycle. I work extensively with private equity funds and their portfolio companies, assisting them with acquisitions, entity structure, integration, and buy and sell side due diligence to help them grow and become best in class.

Around the office, I’m known for being approachable and having a practical mindset to problem-solving. I am also unfailingly focused on the professional development and growth of those around me. Our team has our clients’ best interests at heart and can be counted on to find effective and creative ways to support them through strategic and operational growth.

The reason I entered this field is as true today as it was when I started — the continual variety of experiences and daily challenges to tackle. I wanted to work with great professionals and a diverse client base, and I’m fortunate to do so every day. I help people realize their dreams; whether it’s my clients growing their businesses or my team achieving their career and personal goals. Their success is what fuels mine.
I’m a member of the AICPA, the Michigan Association of CPAs, and the ACG. I received my B.A. in accounting from Western Michigan University.

I’m also a firm believer in living a terrific balance of life. Outside of work, my priority is spending time outdoors with my family: traveling, photography, hunting, golfing, skiing, and boating brings us renewal and perspective.

Specialties: Commercial Healthcare (for profit healthcare), Consumer goods and services, private equity, transactions, multi-unit organizations, professional services, strategic planning strategy (crossed out specialties no longer exist on the website)

Fun fact: I once held a national Sports Car Club of America racing license, so don’t be alarmed if you see me driving a bit over the speed limit: I’m a professional.
