"I knew the economic recession was just the beginning as it is again, and the next decades I needed to make moves."

"I have many hats as a president and owner, from bringing in clients distributing workflow, reviewing the financials, and permit changes to software."

"Making stressful situations manageable is a big part of the role."

"Attending an accredited college and accountant will pick up time management, attention to detail organization and interpersonal skills."

"I enjoy making a difference in my client's lives."

"The biggest challenge for any entrepreneur, uh, in any industry will always be collections."

"The industry is always adapting and growing. It's never boring!"

"Diligence and experience. Everyone who was great had the same starting point."

"I wish they taught accounting and how to form a business and bookkeeping or even basic business in high school."

"Both entry-level positions open many doors, uh, to build on the position."

"Not everything comes easily and that's okay, but keep trying and pursuing and always ask the question."

"The hardship is not the reason you give up. It is the feel that makes the individual mighty."
