Stuart Fletcher is a father of three, a pen enthusiast, and the Sr. Tax Manager at Rainwater CPA. As a US Coast Guard veteran and now as an Enrolled Agent, Stuart has a lifelong passion for helping people out of tough situations. In 2009 Stuart began what he expected to be a career in real estate and obtained his brokers license. Shortly after filing his first tax return as a self-employed person (and paying the subsequent bill to the IRS,) however, he realized he should spend some time learning about taxes and bookkeeping. In the end he abandoned his real estate career, took a job as a tax preparer at a local H&R Block, was an office manager, a lead tax preparer, and ultimately earned his status as an Enrolled Agent. Throughout the next several years, Stuart co-founded Navigator Tax & Representation and went on to become a Sr. Tax Manager at Rainwater CPA. When not glued to tax software and zoom meetings; Stuart can be found spending time with his family, trying (and often failing) to train his Irish Setter Sockeye, and enjoying the distinction of being the only person on earth (as far as he knows) to have been at the helm of multiple coast guard vessels, a Disney monorail and the Goodyear Blimp.
