I’ve been teaching accounting at Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) since 2000.  My favorite courses to teach include Financial; Managerial; and Federal and California Income Tax Accounting.  I developed the income tax course for MSJC in 2002.  It meets the California Tax Education Council’s (CTEC) requirements for qualifying education to obtain a Registered Tax Preparer’s Certificate.  For more information on the tax course, please click here.  I am currently developing CTEC approved continuing education courses to meet their annual CE requirement.

I enjoy assisting students in pursuit of their educational and career goals.  Much of that assistance is based on my prior professional experience, as well as, being able to help point the student in the right direction, as necessary.  My professional experience includes 10 years of public accounting.  I am also a co-author of California Income Tax Fundamentals, one of the text books used in the income tax course, beginning with the 2005 edition.

My educational background includes a B.A. in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting and an M.S. in Taxation, both from California State University Fullerton. I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a member of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).
