What would you be doing if you weren’t an accountant?
If I wasn’t an accountant, I would be doing something that would get me outside in nature.
What do you like to do in your free time?
When I’m not working, I like spending time with my family in Northern Minnesota at the cabin. You can find us out on the lake or in the woods participating in many outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, hiking and hunting.
What’s your favorite part about being an accountant?
My favorite part about being an accountant is the satisfaction I feel helping the people I serve. It is really fun and rewarding to guide them through their challenges and work together to find strategic solutions to any problems they may encounter.

One of my favorite ways to spend free time is at the lake with my family.
