I developed a strong work ethic growing up on a farm that’s been in my family for over 130 years. I’ve learned that owning any business, including a farm, is tough work. You can’t just punch a clock and expect longevity and success; you must be plugged into your business at all times and surround yourself with a strong network of professionals that share your ambitions. Since starting my public accounting career in 2001, my calming presence has been the sounding board that keeps clients grounded. The clarity I provide helps them make better financial management decisions, leading to continued success.
