Tax Attorney and wearer of many hats. As CEO at Providence Tax & Advisory and CFO of RE journals (a media company), I am constantly creating strategies for maximizing cash flow, minimizing taxes and creating growth for small businesses and real estate investors. I am a practicing attorney in the State of Minnesota and a former CPA.Providence is a tax advisory firm and law firm that creates tax-saving strategies for business owners and real estate investors. All of our clients experience tax savings, and some as much as 6 or 7-figure amounts. Furthermore, we back-up our tax strategies with supporting legal documentation, which is a critical step most advisors miss. In addition, I have been helping Real Estate Publishing Corp (REjournals) grow and expand into new markets through acquisition, joint ventures, and local growth strategies by leading the corporate M&A and finance functions. We are currently focusing the company's efforts to grow our footprint across the Midwest and Texas. In the past five years, the company has grown by more than 300% via acquisition of the Illinois Real Estate Journal, Midwest Real Estate News, Properties Magazine, Chicago Industrial Properties, REDnews, and the Retail Space Guide as well as significantly increased its annual event portfolio.Prior to my current roles, I was a highly regarded Real Estate Professional and former CPA/Attorney in the fields of private equity, real estate, and capital markets. I have been a principal investor developer and/or advisor to more than $1 billion in transactions over my career. I have also been a featured speaker, lecturer, moderator, and panelist at more than 150 events. Also I am a former Investment Banker (series 79) and Real Estate Broker.
