Michael has been a dedicated member of LFCO since August 2012 and stepped into a management role in January 2015. Now serving as a Tax Partner, he brings over a decade of experience guiding clients through complex tax matters with a practical, solutions-driven approach. Michael is proud to be part of a locally owned firm that offers the expertise of a large firm, paired with the personalized service of a boutique practice. LFCO’s clients count on the team for thoughtful, responsive service, while team members value the supportive, collaborative culture. Whether someone is looking for a trusted advisor or a place to grow their career, Michael believes LFCO provides both.
Michael’s passion for accounting began early. In fifth grade, he joined a stock market club and later managed all aspects of his little league snack stand including handling inventory, scheduling, operations, and even creating financial statements. By high school, he realized AP Physics wasn’t the right fit, and accounting felt like the perfect path forward. He has always enjoyed working with numbers, solving problems, and creating order from complexity.
In his role as a tax professional, Michael finds fulfillment in helping clients navigate an ever-changing tax landscape. “What I enjoy most about tax is the constant opportunity to help clients in meaningful ways. The tax laws are always changing, which keeps things interesting, and clients rely on us to offer guidance.” He finds it rewarding to “turn complexity into clarity, and make a real difference for the people and businesses we work with.”
Michael earned his Bachelor of Science degree with highest honors from the Rochester Institute of Technology and went on to complete his Master of Accounting at the University of Southern California.

Family is at the heart of Michael’s life. He and his wife cherish time with their four young children, whether they are outside playing sports, going on family walks, swimming, enjoying game nights, or snuggling on the couch with popcorn for movie night. They are also active in their church community and often volunteer together. Travel is another passion, as Michael and his family love creating new memories while exploring new places. In his own time, he stays active with F3 workouts in local parks, occasionally plays golf, and, when they can, he enjoys sharing a good meal and glass of wine with his wife.
