“ask better questions, get better answers.”
For nearly 20 years, I’ve worked in senior management positions in both banking/finance roles, and in the automotive sales industry. With a unique confluence of skills and experiences, I’ve been the person clients have turned to when they found themselves saying, “I don’t even know what I’m looking at.”

Let me help find the questions you need to ask. With over 15 years of experience in bank auditing, transactional analysis, and finance contract adjudication, there are many ways I can help.
With offices in Edmonton, Alberta; Phoenix, Arizona; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I can be where you need me to be.

analysis and expert witness services
I’ve worked on several cases now involving the automotive industry, and the unique perspective I can bring has proven indispensible. For two of my clients I literally handed them their entire case in a single report, enough to file for dismissal. You never know, maybe I can do the same for you!
contract reviews and consulting services
Do you have a financing contract, and you have no idea what any of it means? Are you trying to find a way out of a long-term lease or loan contract, but you want to know how to do that without a large penalty?
Or, are you responsible for an automotive dealership with a finance department that is giving you doubts? Let’s see if I can find you some solutions.
