Dan has been a licensed CPA since 1965. His studies and education have been in pursuit of the understanding of tax laws pertaining to retirement. Based on the belief that all of our clients need to be planning and funding for their lives after retirement as early in their working years as possible. The interest resulted in the recognition of the need to assist in planning for and administering estates and trusts. Dan became a Trustee for the first time in 1990, serving as the trustee of a charitable remainder trust. He has since served as trustee or co-trustee of revocable living trusts, non-probate administrative trusts, and sub-trusts, and one testamentary trust. Dan has spent a considerable amount of time and effort discussing and exploring alternatives and offering advice on issues that have been qualified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as elder care services.

Dan enjoys sushi, playing golf and spending time with his wife Jane, his children and grandchildren. Dan also likes to travel, most of the time in a quest to be with his children and grandchildren.
