What do you love most about living and working in Huntsville?

Many of our Huntsville clients are working on new technologies and innovations. It’s amazing to see all the new technologies developed right here in our community.

How do you like to spend your time outside of work?

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children. Recently we have enjoyed visiting the Huntsville Botanical Gardens or Monte Sano for Saturday morning hikes. If you have small children I highly recommend the Botanical Gardens Galaxy of Lights Christmas tour.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career, and what valuable lesson did they teach you?

I started my career working for Carlos McDonald, a shareholder at Pearce, Bevill, Leesburg, & Moore PC in Birmingham. Carlos helped me understand that in our business it’s okay to not know everything off the top of your head. Great CPAs know their limitations and more importantly know where to research and find the correct answers and solutions for their clients.

Where is your favorite place to relax in Huntsville?

Chucks Fish in Madison or Campus 805 with the kids.

What’s your go-to workday jam?
