Who I work with
I specialize in serving the tax, assurance and advisory needs of privately held businesses, with a concentration in the construction and real estate industries. My clients come to me with a wide range of goals, from driving profitability through smart tax planning and advice, to compiling a sound valuation for their business.
My specialty
I specialize in providing tax planning and compliance for C corporations, S corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs), and for the individuals who own these businesses. I have also assisted many clients in both the sale and purchase of businesses. With every engagement, I focus on learning the ins and outs of my clients’ businesses so that I can fully understand the issues that are most important to them. My goal is to be the first person my clients call when a challenge arises.

Results I have delivered
Communication is key to any successful relationship. If I can’t provide the specialized expertise my clients need, I connect them with the right Aprio advisors and professionals who can help them move forward.
Unique things about me
I enjoy college sports and am an avid fan of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. I also hold season tickets for Rutgers’ football, basketball and wrestling teams.
