My official title? It’s CPA. But what really gets me going? Entrepreneurship. It’s more than just business; it’s about making a difference in the world, building communities, and living out our dreams. This is where we get to turn possibilities into realities.

I absolutely love helping people rekindle their dreams—whether that’s ramping up their impact, excelling in their careers, kicking off a new business, writing that first book, or even becoming a top athlete. There’s always this gap between where we are and where we could be, right? I see too many people stuck in the wishing phase when they could be achieving. But then, there are folks who are smashing those big, hairy, audacious goals, and that fires me up!

I really believe we’re all here to do more than just accumulate stuff. We’re here to connect, to mean something to someone, and to impact lives through our work and our passions every single day as individuals and through our work or businesses.

Personally—I’m a California born and bred. Love spending quality time creating unforgettable experiences living on the beach or traveling with my amazing wife, Stefanie, and our Sheepadoodles, Budo and Smason. Oh then there is spoiling my two beautiful granddaughters… It’s just the best. Oh and I’m also that guy who can’t help pulling a prank or cracking a joke—it’s all about having a good time. Heck my day is not complete until. Stefanie rolls her eyes and asks, “Mel, will you ever grow up?” Well we know the answer to that, right? (…she plays along though, because she’s good like that).
