Experience Summary
I "discovered" tutoring during my studies for a Masters degree. I love helping others understand Accounting and Corporate Finance. I can think of nothing as satisfying as seeing a student "get it" or have the elusive "Ah-ha" moment they have been struggling to find.
I have 28 years of professional experience in accounting, information technology and leadership. As a Servant Leader who is focused on helping others, I am caring and patient. I can take complex accounting and technology topics and simplify them for the non-technical learner.
Trained by the US military to teach and mentor, I have led many over my long career. As a NYS Certified Public Accountant, I have served individuals, corporations and groups. I have been a "Big 4" Public Accountant, Corporate Controller, Project Manager, Network Administrator, Military Commander, Auditor and Computer Security Team Chief.
With several years of education and experience in computer security, I have been successful explaining complex, technical data to leaders, subordinates and peers. I use these skills to make complex accounting and finance concepts easy to understand for my tutoring students.
I've held US Security Clearances from Secret to Top Secret and have a high regard for confidentiality.
I will not suggest that I am a tutor of a hundred subjects. I can help with a few, but, I assure you, I will be effective in those few.
Lately, my focus has been on business subjects like accounting, finance and consumer math.
Limiting my travel to Buffalo, Rochester, Batavia and anywhere in between, I am willing to help anyone who has the sincere desire to learn.
Teaching Style
I prefer to help students learn subject by working through assigned problems and assignments with them. I show them the best way to support solutions in their text books so that they can find the solutions after we are done.
My Hobbies
Coaching youth soccer and youth hockey.
Boy Scout leader and trainer.
