My professional goals have always focused on being of the highest level of beneficial service to the client community and the professionals in the niche area in which my time and attention was devoted. Over the years, I have been on the cutting edge of many of the most crucial issues in the property tax world.
For many years, coaching youth athletics has been a personal area in which I have joyfully devoted my time. I was blessed to have learned from and played for a number of really outstanding coaches. For 17 consecutive years, I coached at least three youth sports each and every year, including boys soccer and football, boys and girls hockey, boys baseball and girls softball – mostly involving traveling teams. I find it personally fulfilling to have watched my young players go on to enjoy success at the high school and college level, and now to watch the players whom I coached return the favor by coaching their own children and current youth teams.
My other hobbies and interests include mentoring, college football, and supporting groups serving the needs of the community.
