My journey into federal accounting began where most do: in the United States Marine Corps. I enlisted as a rifleman, and after four years, I pursued accounting in Washington, DC. I was drawn by the order it brings and ended up looking for government jobs. To my surprise, I became an auditor of federal financial statements at a Big Four firm. I would eventually leave the audit life and consult across the Federal Government.

Throughout my career, I've had a curiosity for innovation and information. I would seek new approaches and methods to help make my work easier or at least more interesting. Yet, I noticed a significant gap in federal-specific training resources. Finding a course that offers the flexibility, depth, and engagement I sought is hard. This realization inspired me to create Federal Finance CPE. A platform designed to provide the flexible, in-depth, and engaging education I always wished existed. I aim to offer a resource for everyone in the federal accounting and finance community.
