I joined AACE originally in 1992 and left in 1997 to pursue another opportunity. I rejoined the AACE staff in 2012. Because of this, even though my employment with AACE has not been continuous, I can say that I worked at AACE before any of the current staff. I was there when Christian Heller was hired! Now that’s Old School…

I graduated from West Virginia University with an Industrial and Management Systems Engineering degree, but I accepted a job in Information Technology with a large IT company right out of college. I ended up working directly with clients in IT services to provide technical support and problem resolution. At the time, I liked the fast pace and challenge that the field presented. The association space if much different than the private sector, but that environment prepared me well for my role at AACE International…

My first exposure to accounting was in high school where I took two introductory accounting courses. I immediately felt a connection with the balance of the process of recording and organizing financial data. Throughout my college studies and preparing for the CPA exam, my interest only intensified. The first part of my career was in public accounting and then a few years in the energy industry. I am thoroughly grateful that my career path eventually led me to AACE where I have been given a priceless opportunity to continue to grow professionally…

When I first started at AACE two and a half short years ago, I did a lot of listening. I wanted to find out what made AACE buzz. Initially (and unsurprisingly), I heard a lot about our technical content and certifications – renowned for their quality, rigor, and hallmark status in the industry. Of course! Because this is what we do. But what I really wanted to know was… why do we do it? Why is our value unique from any other organization with similar offerings? It didn’t take long to uncover: our people. AACE is much more than its programs and products, we’re a community…
I joined AACE In August 1999 – in AACE years that could be perceived as a hot minute after Christian and Marvin which may or may not be pictured here. Only kidding of course, they weren’t in New Hampshire in 1956 with our great founding members. When I started at AACE, there were limitations on how long any staff member was supposed to be connected to the internet…
