Providing Financial Peace of Mind
I have witnessed firsthand how important finances are for peace of mind, security and the role it can play in happiness. My goal is to help keep people on the right side of finance, or help them get to the right side. Taxes are one of the largest expenses each of us pay every year, and is an area that most people can improve upon, with some help. The favorite part about my job is to help people plan ahead. I always set aside time to discuss how they can decrease tax liability, and what pieces of information about taxation that will be relevant to them in the next couple of years. I always try to teach my clients something new each time they walk into my office.

The Role of Education
In order to provide excellent service, knowledge is key. I graduated from GVSU with a BBA and intend to obtain my CPA license by the end of 2017. I am constantly researching, keeping on top of the changes, and attending educational seminars to ensure that all topics relevant to my clients are addressed.

Board Member of the Creston Business Association

On a Personal Note
I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, I love it here and will never leave. Grand Rapids is stuck with me. I have recently become a homeowner in Creston Neighborhood and look forward to watching the area greatly improve in the upcoming years with all the new projects occurring. I greatly enjoy anything that involves strategy and planning, and will never say “no” to playing a board game. I am a member of the United States Chess Federation and participate in monthly chess tournaments. Many weekends are spent with family. I am the youngest of five children, and uncle to six great nieces and nephews. There always seems to be a birthday to attend.
