MY STORY

I started Darting Group because I wanted full autonomy to serve my clients in the way I thought they deserved. It doesn’t hurt that I love critical thinking, numbers, understanding how businesses operate, and always asking about “the why” behind things.

I come from a small business family, so I learned what the ups and downs of owning your own business look like. I watched my parents overcome some significant obstacles that only a small business owner could understand. I learned about grit, tenacity, and courage. I was taught the meaning of right and wrong, what it means to do the right thing, and then to do the right thing.

I was born and raised in Redding, CA, moved to San Luis Obispo for college, and ultimately ended up in Sacramento, where I completed my accounting degree.

I worked in both audit and tax disciplines at a regional accounting firm that served clients in the construction industry. I later moved into the private sector where I held positions in the finance and internal audit departments. I had the opportunity to travel for work that took me to the east coast and overseas. I worked in the financial services, healthcare, technology, and manufacturing industries. I worked with companies across the spectrum from loss leaders to a multi-billion dollar line of business. To say “I’ve seen some things” would be an understatement!

I chose public accounting because I am fascinated by how businesses operate and make their money. Business owners have a special kind of drive; in their operations, in their ideas, in their determination, and in their execution – which is unmatched. Experts say you should surround yourself with those who make you better and help you grow – This is what business owners and others out there “getting it done” provide for me.

I believe a truly great CPA can be that advisor and business partner to further your business and individual financial goals.
