As the leader of the firm’s Chicago financial institutions practice, I manage a team that offers audit, tax, and risk management consulting services to a variety of bank and credit union clients.
I’m passionate about developing the practice, providing outstanding client service, and building strong relationships within the community. I hope clients appreciate that while I’m strict about following industry guidelines, I’m also caring and considerate of their needs.
I’m proud to do good work for good people, and I have a long association with Plante Moran. In fact, my first exposure to the public accounting industry was through an internship with the firm in 1979. I was impressed with the firm’s culture and clientele and the potential for a lifetime career in the industry. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of building our southwest Michigan and Chicago banking practices from the ground up. The Chicago practice is now our largest hub; I consider growing and developing the practice and our team to be one of my greatest achievements.
I have a B.B.A. with a concentration in accounting from the University of Michigan – Dearborn. I’ve also been awarded the title “Grampa Monster” by my five grandchildren.
