To encourage diversity in this profession, I started an endowment at Metropolitan State to provide scholarships for minority students. I also work with the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Denver to introduce accounting to youngsters of all backgrounds.

Experience

As a leader of our real estate and construction team in the Rocky Mountain region, I provide a variety of services including equity and debt structuring advice, tax planning and compliance, strategic acquisition support, and family wealth transfers assistance. My real estate clients range from private, closely held developers and operators to publicly traded REITs.

I enjoy bringing creative ideas to clients to help them streamline their business operations. Having these types of trusted, consultative relationships with clients is what attracted me to the industry in the first place, and I’m still here over 25 years later.

I’m humbled by the relationships I’ve built with clients. A client once shared that I was the reason his business made it through the recession. Impact like that is why I love my job.

I’ve spoken on real estate-related tax topics for a variety of organizations, including the Colorado Real Estate Journal Economic Development Summit for Developers and Contractors, the Urban Land Institute, and the Colorado Real Estate Journal Conference on Tax Reform for Contractors and Developers.

I’m a member of the AICPA, the Colorado Society of CPAs, and the Metropolitan State University Business School Advisory Board. I earned my B.S. in accounting from Metropolitan State.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active any way I can, including traveling, hiking, fishing, and hunting.
