Who we are:

I’ve always had two callings: law enforcement and business. Growing up in a family of both police officers and entrepreneurs, I knew I wanted to follow in those footsteps. That path led me to a rewarding 20+ year career as a Corporal with the Annapolis Police Department, where service, accountability, and attention to detail were part of my everyday work.

While raising a family — my wife and our three daughters — I pursued my long-standing passion for business, earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Towson University.

 

In 2018, after retiring from the police department, I transitioned into public accounting, joining Ellin & Tucker, a respected regional firm. There, I advanced to Senior Accountant/Auditor, serving clients across industries including construction, manufacturing, not-for-profits, 401(k) plans, and — most importantly for my future path — law firms and IOLTA trust accounts.

That experience deepened my expertise in compliance, financial reporting, and trust accounting, while sharpening my ability to spot risk and improve systems. Eventually, I returned to the Annapolis Police Department — this time not in uniform, but as their Accounting Manager, where I oversaw complex finances and combined both my law enforcement discipline and accounting expertise.

Today, through Medley Business Advisors, LLC, I bring all of that experience together to help law firms. I combine:

  • The integrity and accountability of a police officer

  • The technical expertise of an auditor and accountant

  • The entrepreneurial mindset that drives me to help firms run stronger, more profitable practices

My mission is simple: to give law firms the clarity, compliance, and confidence they need, so they can focus on practicing law while knowing their books and trust accounts are in expert hands.
