He obtained his accounting degree from Southern Illinois University. After a stint in the Army, he continued working in the CPA profession with large accounting firms (RSM McGladrey and KPMG), and as a sole practitioner. As a licensed CPA for over 40 years, he’s serviced the privately held business owner in a wide variety of industries providing tax, accounting, and consulting services.
