BackgroundNot too much exciting here. Graduated from Camarillo High in 1997. I attended UCSB and graduated there in 2001 with a degree in Accounting and a minor in art history. During school I had an internship with a local CPA Firm called Mac Farlane Faletti & Co LLP and a summer internship with the now extinct Arthur Andersen. After graduation I moved to the south bay with some fellow interns from Arthur Andersen and lived there for three years while working downtown. In March of 2002 I met my future wife, Melissa, at Arthur Andersen. In May of 2002 Andersen started to fall apart due to the Enron scandal but luckily for me Deloitte and Touche purchased most of the Los Angeles tax practice and I received an offer to work there. After a year and a half I decided it was time to move on. In September of 2003 I move to Grant Thornton in downtown Los Angeles and I have been there ever since. In June of 2004, Melissa and I decided it was time to take a stab at cohabitation. We rented an apartment in West Los Angeles and lived there happily for about a year and a half. We started to look for a house in late 2005 and in November of 2005 I asked her to marry me, she said yes. We purchased a house in Temple City and moved in early 2006. On November 25th 2006, we got married in Vegas. A very nice small wedding, just close family followed by a much larger reception at her Uncle's fantastic restaurant "The Depot", in Torrance. On a side note, anyone looking to have a wedding that is all about you and your wife/husband, I highly recommend the Vegas route!CurrentI am now happily married with two adorable dogs, no kids now or in the future, at least I hope. I am still working at Grant Thornton as a Tax Manager and loving it. Check me out on Linkedin.com.
