"Hello! I am a Financial Professional with over 20 years of experience in corporate accounting management. I have held titles of CFO, Controller, and Treasurer at very successful companies, including a member of the Toyota Motors Group. I have a Bachelors of Science in Accounting from Marquette University and recently completed my Juris Doctor degree at UIC Law. I completed my law degree at night, while working full time, so I understand and sympathize how life issues can make studying challenging.

I have the following experiences that I believe makes me an excellent teacher, mentor, and tutor:

2000 to 2023 Training people (age 18 to 55) one-on-one, on the job, in accounting department positions:

controller, staff accountant, accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit management, inventory

analysis, cost accounting, inventory accounting.

1995 to Present - Mentoring young (age 16 to 29) at-risk men how to succeed professionally and

personally in the community.

2010 to 2017 Teaching contract evaluation and negotiation training to help at-risk youth (ages 15 to 25)

from northwest, central, and southern IL to secure a high-quality contract to host a youth conference.

My tutoring style is collaborative and supportive. I do not believe any question, no matter how basic, is unacceptable. I pride myself on making complex concepts into direct statements that can be understood and utilized. I am an excellent listener and work very hard to ensure whatever learning style a student has I adapt to it so they can learn and retain in a manner that best works for them. I am easy to reach and do my best to respond quickly. I look forward to working with you to enhance your learning experience." less...
