Owner & CEO

As the owner and CEO of Omni Tax Solutions, I have a great sense of pride and satisfaction in the caring work that our staff performs helping our clients resolve their tax problems every day. Our company was founded in the garage of our family home nearly 30 years ago not far from our current office. In those "pioneering" times we overcame many challenges developing our business of helping fellow taxpayers resolve their tax problems. It takes a lot of energy, creativity, courage, and grit to open and run your own business. It is the American dream to work for yourself. Like you, and your business, we continue to face and move through new obstacles to be the best we can be. We are at our best solving your tax problems so you can be the best at what you do. You are not alone with Omni Tax Solutions on your side.

I have advocated for my clients for almost a decade.

Clear and compassionate communication is the key to a successful collaboration with my clients.

I believe that the world needs a little more patience, and I consider the best way to gain it is through the adoption of shelter animals. A pet brings positive change to lives, instills excellent habits, and nurtures constant patience.
