My college experience was very rewarding, and it enabled me to qualify to sit for the Certified Public Accountant's exam. My decision to forego
petitioning for my degree in finance in order to also meet the requirements of a degree in accounting was one of my wisest.
I am proud to say that, although not the Validictorian of my class of fellow accounting majors, I outperformed the student who had bested me throughout college by
passing the entire CPA exam in the same sitting, including posting a top state ranking in the auditing portion of the exam.

Much of my post-graduate work was undertaken in connection with my continuing education requirement as a CPA. In the early years, I selected
courses that also prepared me to choose a career as an attorney. Although I do not have a juris doctor degree, I attended the equivalent of
approximately a year's worth of full-time law school study, successfully completing a number of valuable courses in subjects such as contracts, agency and partnership,
Uniform Commercial Code, family and business law.
In addition to law school, during my years as an actively practicing CPA, I regularly took classes in taxation from a number of colleges and universities.

Upon my promotion from assistant manager of the Anaheim store to manager of the newly-opening Huntington Beach location,
I had an opportunity to take the restaurant management course at the franchisor's corporate headquarters.

In connection with my endeavors auditing
Ford Dealer Development operations, I took advantage of several opportunities to attend programs offered in Ford Authorized Leasing Systems operations management and in truck

is potentially dangerous.

I completed all classes that are required for the uniform examination of a Certified General Appraiser.
