40 Years. Countless Situations. One Standard.
I’ve spent four decades walking into companies at their most critical moment — distressed, stuck, or at an inflection point — and helping them find a way forward. Every industry. Every size. I don’t operate from a distance. I embed, execute, and stay until the job is done.
I’m a CPA — active in California and Tennessee — with deep forensic accounting capability. When I open the books, I’m not just reading financials. I’m verifying them. That investigative lens shapes everything I do.
I also built something no other turnaround executive has — a proprietary AI system deployed on every engagement that compresses diagnostic timelines and finds what others miss.
