As the firmwide technical leader of the employee benefit plan audit practice, I provide staff and clients with guidance on new and proposed professional standards as well as research on the application of accounting and auditing standards that impact employee benefit plan audits. My expertise includes audits, reporting, and disclosure issues surrounding all types of plans. My clients and colleagues appreciate my technical expertise and practical solutions. I'm proud to be known for my collaborative approach when resolving technical matters with engagement teams and clients. With more than 17 years of experience, I'm often asked to speak to clients at industry trainings and conferences, regarding current accounting and auditing topics and upcoming standards and their impact to benefit plan financial statements. I belong to the AICPA and the Michigan Association of CPAs. I received my B.S. in business administration from Northwood University.
