When did you decide to go into the accounting field and why? 

In High School, I enjoyed math and my accounting classes so that was the career I pursued.

 

Why did you decide to work in public accounting, rather than private sector? 

Public accounting is where my first job was and I’ve been in public accounting on and off since that time.

 

Where is your favorite place to travel? 

I enjoy traveling in Michigan, seeing all the waterfalls in the U.P. and spending time near any of the wonderful lakes in our great state.  I enjoy walking on the beach looking for Petoskey stones, or a walk in the woods (mosquito free of course).

 

What is your favorite sports team? 

Detroit Tigers

 

What do you like to do in your free time? 

Spending time with my family and being outdoors, swimming, volleyball and snowmobiling.  I also enjoy reading and gardening.
