I started preparing taxes in the 1990's.  Before moving to Temecula and starting my own practice, I was employed at a business management firm in Santa Monica that specialized in entertainers, primarily well-known touring musicians.  Before that I worked in financial planning.  I earned my bachelors degree from Cal State Long Beach and a masters degree in taxation from Golden Gate University.  I am also an Enrolled Agent,  a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the California Society of Certified Public Accountants (CalCPA).  When not immersed in the intricacies of the Internal Revenue Code I can be found walking in my neighborhood and hanging out with my girlfriend, Angel.
