Why did you choose to be a CPA and/or advisor?

Family influences and a clear path to a job, honestly, when deciding on a major. But I found that it came naturally, and I have enjoyed it throughout my career.

What do you like best about helping clients?

I like to teach and see the "ah ha" moments. Most middle-market companies do not have the luxury of staffing a full complement of experts, so that allows us the opportunity to be a resource. It's much more relational than transactional.

What energizes you about your job?

The fact that each day is completely different and mostly does not go according to plans. Between serving clients, assisting team members and fellow partners, a to-do list can look largely untouched at the end of the day.

What energizes you about working at PKF Texas?

Knowing that the founders and the current owners focus on quality in everything we do. I also enjoy the fact that PKF Texas is a locally owned, independent firm with the freedom to decide what is best for our clients and employees.

Where are you from?

Beaumont, Texas

What do you do in your spare time?

Catch up on sleep, recorded shows, honey-do's and hang out with the family.

What's your favorite season?

I'm a public accountant so, naturally, busy season.

What's your favorite sport to follow?

College football

Do you own any pets?

Yes. One Morkie, Taffy. I bought her for the girls, but Mom and Dad are pretty attached as well.

Favorite color(s)

Blue

What kind of music do you like?

I appreciate talent from most genres. My playlist jumps from jazz, country, pop, gospel, R&B, etc.

What's your favorite vacation destination?

Colorado - Skiing

Favorite movie?

No particular favorite but I like suspense thrillers most.
