I volunteer with a local neighborhood organization that pairs me with older adult neighbors to help them with projects around their house. I value the relationships I am able to form and hearing about how the neighborhood has changed over time while doing a little manual labor.

Partner, CPA
Experience
I provide assurance, advisory, technical accounting, and financial reporting services to closely held, institutionally backed, and publicly traded entities. My clients span the energy spectrum — from emerging startups to large, complex operations — and I help them navigate evolving financial landscapes with confidence and clarity.
As the assurance technical leader for the firm’s energy industry group, I lead initiatives around growth, risk management, and quality control. I also lead a team dedicated to supporting our colleagues on complex and evolving accounting and assurance matters. In addition, I serve on the firm’s professional standards team and as a subject matter expert on SEC reporting.
What drew me to this profession is the balance of structure and judgment. My clients value my proactive approach, practical mindset, and commitment to helping them achieve their goals. I thrive on the challenges posed by ever-changing accounting standards and their application to dynamic business models, technologies, and regulatory environments.
I’m a member of the AICPA and the Colorado Society of CPAs, and I frequently speak to industry associations on current topics. In the community, I serve on the Accounting Advisory Council at the University of Colorado Denver and mentor accounting students at both the University of Colorado Denver and the University of Colorado Boulder, where I earned my B.S. and M.S. in business administration.
