**In an attempt to keep my LinkedIn contact relevant, if you send an invite to connect with me, please include a note as to how we are connected. No offense, but random recruiters, financial managers and coaches won't make the cut if we haven't met. THANKS!** My personal mission is to help CPAs and small businesses to leverage technology for their success. Once a practicing CPA I discovered a passion for technology. After years of churning out tax returns and completing audits I discovered my Hedgehog (see Jim Collin's, Good to Great) and decided to marry my passions for the accounting industry and technology. I am honored to be recognized as an industry leader on technology topics impacting CPA's. This allows me the opportunity to be a speaker at industry conferences around the country. I embrace these opportunities to educate CPA's on a wide variety of technology topics such as, cloud computing, Microsoft updates and many other topics. During my journey I have made a number of exciting stops. Notably, as a member of the Maryland Association of CPA's Board of Directors and ultimately Chairman of the Board. I have also participated at a variety of levels with the American Institute of CPA's including currently on the PCPS Executive Committee. I am a regular presenter for state and national conferences, discussing technology and leadership topics for CPAs.
