MY Story

As a Gen Xer, I came of age between the analogue  and the  digital world, a unique position that allowed me to grow a blend of Generation X cynicism and Millennial optimism. The beginning of my intro into accounting came from a mentor who graduated from Wharton. He taught me accounting via paper ledger books, and when I asked questions, he said go to school.  So I began taking courses in Accounting.  By the 80's  computers were being implemented and I excelled by finding my niche figuring out  everything by experience.  I have accepted and achieved all challenges in my career.  Currently in search of the next challenge.
