If you don’t know me, then you will quickly come to realize I am the type of person who learns and connects through telling stories. Talking to clients and contacts comes easy to me and that’s how the idea of this blog was born. We are heading in a new direction at McLean, Koehler, Sparks & Hammond. This blog serves as a platform for sharing our knowledge and innovative ideas with a focus on how they can lead to more business success for you and your company. I am also looking forward to developing my relationship directly with you as that is how we learn and grow as a firm.

Occasionally, I’ll blog about current events — Mostly, I will relate to you stories about leadership and progressive management, many from my own personal experiences. From the time I started my career, I have had some great successes and some great failures. I’m passionate about learning, mentoring and innovating. I’ll share my ideas about these and other topics in future blogs too. Finally, many people have asked me how I made it from LA to Baltimore on a motorcycle. It’s a great story with some funny anecdotes that will make you rethink what is important to you as a business leader.

I’ll leave you with this last thought…I am going to make you rethink what you know about accounting firms and the expectations that you have about them. I’m not here to give you guidance 24/7, that is what our wonderful team of CPAs, OD practitioners, IT specialists and business consultants are for, I’m here to welcome and connect you to MKS&H’s community side because at the “end of the day” (for those of you that really know me, please excuse my verbal crutch), It’s About You and us working together to be successful business leaders and people.
