: About Me

I'm an accountant. Fun, I know.

Writing for me has always been a left brain/right brain excercise to round out my day to day life. It's kind of like reading a book or going to the movies. You just go "somewhere else" for a little while. Good balance in life is key.

Love to travel and love finance. You'll see many articles from me on both.

Thanks. Enjoy. Smile.
