I’m the Head of Finance at KORTX, overseeing everything related to Accounting, Finance, and Legal.
June 2019.
The best part of KORTX is the people. We have a fantastic team that is passionate about our work. Collaborating with an energetic group that shares a winning mindset is a lot of fun.

In college, I took an economics class during my freshman year and fell in love with it. I initially considered going into teaching but shifted my focus to business after that class. I was torn between majoring in Finance or Accounting and ultimately chose Finance.
After completing my undergraduate degree, I returned to school for a Master’s in Accounting (from Oakland University), which helped me to broaden my skills.
Last year, we went through our first SOC 2 audit, and I was really proud of how the team came together to prepare. We passed with flying colors and are now gearing up for another audit this fall.

The first thing I do in the morning is make a cup of coffee. Then it’s a few hours of getting the kids to school, getting ready for work, and walking the dogs. I try to make it into the office a few days a week, especially when I have a lot of meetings—it’s always nice to see coworkers in person. Once I’m home, I usually take charge of making dinner–we really love HelloFresh. The recipes are great, but your kitchen is a disaster when you’re all done. My oldest daughter is vegetarian, so we’ve been testing out a lot of recipes with Beyond Meat. We made some really good vegetarian chili and Hungarian meatball soup.
I love hanging out with friends and family, golfing, and especially working in the yard.
I love putting ketchup on my scrambled eggs. My wife and kids think it’s absolutely disgusting. I assumed everyone did it, guess not.
