What brought you to Sioux Falls?

Chick-fil-A.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

In five years, I hope to be doing much the same as I am now, serving clients to the best of my abilities and helping them succeed and grow. My hope is that internal and external peers view me as a leader in the industry and feel confident in the services Eide Bailly and I can provide.
