What is your education and experience related to your role at Rowe, Deming & Rothman?
I understand how to run a business.  I had a paper route from fourth grade through freshman year in college.  In college, I formed my first corporation and employed fellow students providing specialized lawn and yard care.  My education includes bachelors and masters degrees in business administration, with emphasis in finance; and professional education in business process improvement, internal controls, forensic accounting and work team facilitation.  When I was not self employed, my employers included major corporations in construction, manufacturing and high-tech industries. 

As a CPA, I was a business consultant for  PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLC, the largest international professional services firm.  I have over 10 years experience in providing business and personal tax and wealth management services.  With a total of over 30 years of experience, I have practical knowledge of what works and what doesn't.

What do you enjoy doing when not working?
Golf and gardening.  I also enjoy cooking, especially for special occasions.  I come from a family of very good cooks, and I carry on the tradition, relying on several family (award winning) recipes.  I carry my golf clubs with me at all times, just in case of a golf emergency.  If you need to play, call me.
