I am a tax preparer for the last 15 years. I also have experience with Quick books (Desktop and online). I have been learning every day in my career as the IRS regulations are always changing and I love the transition and going with the process. I am a wife and mom for 2 boys that have my hands full most of the time but enjoy my journey with them as much as I can besides my daily tasks.
I have enjoyed serving my community in a human resource capacity for many years, where I gained a wealth of experience in tax documentation. In addition to tax documentation, I thrive on the opportunity to communicate with those I serve, ensuring you know I have your very best interests at heart, and filling you with confidence. I am a family man, and when not on the job, I really enjoy working the land I live on, as well as feeding my hobby as a home theater enthusiast.
