CPA
Manager Tax Department
Accountants, tax accountants in particular, get a bad rap for being nerdy, introverted, and extremely particular, but that’s what makes us great for this job. And while all those may be true, I am proof that accountants can be funny, outgoing, and impulsive too! There’s a great mix of both here at KT, which keeps the workdays fun and interesting.
Work hard, play hard is a motto I live by. I work hard during tax season preparing tax returns, training staff, and helping clients so that in the summer I can travel, golf, hike, and enjoy all that the beautiful Black Hills has to offer.
I fell in love with tax during college and my love for tax resurfaced while I was studying for the tax portion of the CPA exams. I truly enjoy learning about tax law, completing more complex tax returns, and helping clients make the best of their tax situation. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve learned from Paul Thorstenson is to “take ownership and make believe it’s your own money.” When I do that, I become more motivated to play around and find new ways to save clients’ money!
I love KT because it’s a set expectation to do the best you can do for clients and colleagues. If I ever have a question or need help on something, there are multiple people I can go to for help. There are accounting jobs everywhere, but there is no other place like KT.

Personal
Like many of my colleagues, I’m a transplant to Rapid City. Originally from White, SD, I grew up visiting the Black Hills with my friends and family and fell in love with the hills, the adventure, and the endless opportunities for fun. I enjoy just about anything there is to do outdoors, golfing, hiking, playing sand volleyball, snowboarding, driving side-by-sides, boating, and sitting on a patio with a good drink. Although I love the opportunities the Black Hills provide, I also love traveling. One of my favorite places I have been is Granada, Spain.
