As an audit partner for financial institutions, mortgage, and consumer finance companies, I serve both public and private institutions, performing financial statement audits and a host of risk management services including internal control audits and loan reviews. For the last 21 years, my industry specialization has consisted of financial institution clients from de-novos to well-established SEC filers. These services consisted of the traditional financial statement opinions in the winter with spring, summer, and fall months focused on risk management and advisory services.
I speak regularly for several different associations on topics such as new accounting standards, regulatory changes, and industry developments. Additionally, I author various thought leadership pieces for our clients and their boards. I received my B.S. in accounting from Michigan State University.
In my free time, I enjoy being with my wife, two children, as well as other family members and friends. In addition to that, I love getting outside. I find opportunities to get to the Rocky Mountains for skiing and hiking, and I enjoy the humbling game of golf.
