Inside the Mind Of...

What do your clients get when they work with you that they may not get from other consultants? Willingness to invest time and effort to provide quality service -- something that is not always available in the audit industry.

Who has been the most influential person in your life or career? I actually have two: my grandmother and my dad.

What did you learn from Richard Rea that you still find value in today? Regardless of how insignificant it may appear, your contribution is important to the team and organization.

Just For Fun...

Describe yourself in one word. Hardworking.

What is the first car you ever owned? My first set of wheels I purchased was a Honda 200 S three-wheeler that I still own. My first car was a Plymouth Reliant.

How do you unwind? Watching sports (mainly racing -- cars, trucks, sprints or my nephew in the karting series), tractor pulls, basketball and football. I also enjoy spending time with my family.

What did you want to be when you grew up? For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be an accountant.

What TV show can you not miss? None really, but I like shows with a puzzle that needs solved, like CSI, The Mentalist and Bones.

What is your claim to fame? Promoting farm safety.
