Upon graduation, I began my professional career in the audit practice of KPMG, working primarily on energy, healthcare, insurance, and manufacturing clients. After three years, I entered the energy industry at Helmerich & Payne, working in internal audit (SOX compliance) and international accounting (FCPA compliance; six months in Bogota!). Five years later, I decided to join the challenging and ever-changing world of private equity-backed E&P companies. In those eight years, I led the accounting departments of three companies through eight acquisitions, three system implementations, and a merger.
I enjoy building teams, establishing processes and controls, standing up systems, managing the monthly/quarterly/annual accounting cycle, and providing officer-focused analyses. Establishing and maintaining relationships (with clients, co-workers, friends, etc.) is also important to me. Embark affords me the opportunity to utilize my experience to assist our clients in many ways. My career has prepared me to take on any challenge and see it through to completion.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife, Kristen, two boys, Owen and Easton, and one pup, Lolo. Not many dull moments at our house! I enjoy playing golf, running, and being outdoors. Being an OSU sports fanatic and music enthusiast, Gallagher-Iba Arena, Boone Pickens Stadium, and Cain’s Ballroom are a few of my happy places.
Embark’s vision is simple: to be the best possible place to work. And if we deliver that to our people consistently, always aiming to learn and improve, we’ll continue to attract top talent and good humans. Excellent client service is then a byproduct of that top talent, the elite consultants and operators that make Embark tick.
