Prior to becoming a Realtor® in Cody, Wyoming, I spent over 35 years in the accounting and finance area in the private business sector. I graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in accounting and a minor in military science. Before entering the private business sector, I spent two years as an officer in the U. S. Military and two years in public accounting. I was a certificated public accountant for many years.
During my years of business experience, I was involved in the acquisition and disposition of many types of businesses including cattle ranching, mining, manufacturing, distribution, and other smaller retail and customer service businesses. This experience required me to work with many independent accountants, attorneys and a number of large financial institutions. I was also responsible for all financial reporting, computer information systems, and managed all of the employee benefit programs including a defined benefit pension plan as well as five different 401(k) plans.
I was raised in a small town in Arkansas. After living in eight different states, I now live in Wapiti, Wyoming, with my wife Dorenda. I am a former president of the Memphis, Tennessee chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants and have served as an advisor to Mutual of New York Insurance Company.
My background and my love for this area give me a unique advantage in the realty market.
