I was born and raised here in Hamilton, throughout my adult life I would venture out to other places for college or other odd jobs, but I always looked for the opportunity to return here to settle down.  I am a third generation Bitterrooter, with my family roots running deep in agriculture and construction. I started out my accounting profession in Colorado with a larger firm that worked on multi-state business and individual tax returns. I learned a lot from my time there, but I missed the face to face interaction and building relationships with the business owners.  When an opportunity arose for me to return to Montana, I jumped and ran home. I have truly enjoyed working with the small business owners in southwest Montana.
