Profile

I am a driven, hardworking man who has quickly climbed the ladder. I may not have all of the answers, but I care enough to find out. I am currently a CFO looking for the next adventure. I want to continue to grow with a company trying to do the same. I have been the CFO for a $20M construction business for 7+ years. During some of that time, I also served as Controller for a St. Louis restaurant. I worked in fractinal accounting/consulting before that. The more I grow, the more inpsired I become.

Career Highlight 2: When I took over the position, the company was struggling to make payroll and had tax liens – federal and state. After setting up payment plans and getting some IRS penalties abated, we paid everything off and doubled the size of the company.

Career Highlight 3: I am most proud of my ability to wear many different hats, as is necessary with a small business. I have never said “that’s not my job.” I have done everything from bookkeeping to accounting, I file union reports, I am the de facto HR person, etc. I am also the de facto IT person, I will customize a report that management wants to see, I will do just about anything that is a good idea.
