Chris has been working closely with business owners to provide forward-looking financial guidance grounded in practical insight for more than 30 years. With extensive experience in the construction, real estate and professional services industries, he focuses on multi-state taxation and estate planning while leading teams of professionals to ensure his clients achieve their planned goals.

Chris’ passion for accounting began early in his career, ultimately leading him to co-found and manage an accounting firm before joining 1RDG, where he led the tax practice prior to the firm’s 2026 merger with Doeren Mayhew. Today, he brings a thoughtful, relationship-driven approach to tax and advisory services, encouraging conversations that extend beyond historical results to focus on future planning. His strong interest in process improvement has made him a trusted resource for clients seeking systems that improve efficiency, consistency and financial visibility.

A self-described “player’s coach,” Chris makes it a priority to spend time with co-workers and is often involved with staff development plans for enhancing technical, management, leadership and intrapersonal skills. Guided by the belief that most development comes from discomfort, Chris embraces challenges while fostering an environment where support is accessible.

Chris listens carefully to his clients’ objectives and helps them pinpoint key issues that must be addressed to achieve real results. His honesty and straight-forward approach often result in break-through conversations that produce a clear understanding of the path forward and planned action items.  Believing in a healthy balance between the role financial results and culture play in any organization’s success, Chris welcomes deep and thoughtful discussions that lead to meaningful impact.
