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.
