About the author
I am a retired accountant with over 40 years experience as a CPA, specializing in forensic accounting. Before I retired in 2001, I was a member of the American Institute of CPA's, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and an active member of the Georgia Society of CPA's. My engagements to uncover fraud and abuse included national, state, and local governments, in addition to private businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Early in my career, I was appointed by the bankruptcy judge as a Chapter 13 Trustee, a position I held for sixteen years. Following the consolidation of my case load into a larger system, I was selected by the Justice Department to examine selected bankruptcy trustees.
My wife, Linda, and I have six children, five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. We live in the North Georgia Mountains where I enjoyed fishing and rafting down our rivers.
