Having grown up on a farm/ranch operation, I love working with agriculture clients. I know what drives them and get excited to find ways to save them money. I also enjoys helping clients find the best options to transition their family legacy/assets down to the next generation in the most tax effective way. I look forward to talking with my clients and finding out what they have been up to and the changes in their lives, and love it when they ask me the same questions!

I joined the firm in 2005 after practicing in public accounting for three years in Bismarck, ND.  I specialize in estate and trust consulting and tax preparation along with farm/ranch, and small business returns. I am the Service Line Leader for the Tax Department.

Education

  • BA in Accounting & Business Administration, concentration in Financial Planning – Jamestown College

Professional Affiliations

  • American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
  • South Dakota CPA Society
  • West River Estate & Financial Planning Council

Personal

When outside the office you can find me at the football field, hockey rink, or at the track watching my three boys do what they love. In addition, I love to spend time camping, fishing, and gardening.
