My father was an accountant, and as a rebel career wise didn't want to "Like father, like son" So, right or wrong, went out of his way suggesting careers we both knew, wouldn't make it. I eventually decided on a hotel management trainee program. After passing through a few departments, it was my turn for a stint in accounting. I may as well have been drafted. I recall, the first task was coming up with a solution to an on-going issue and supporting my reasons. I remained within the hospitality accounting field until the early 2000;s working in chain hotels in London England, Los Angeles and finally New York City.

I plan on a book release for accounting for the hospitality industry. I have consulted for small businesses as well being solely responsible for the accounting for a small business.
