Our Story
Our journey began with a shared passion for community and a deep commitment to local government. Born and raised in Columbus, I developed an early appreciation for the impact that effective municipal finance can have on a community’s long-term success. This passion led me into local government, where I served as the first City Controller of Greenwood, Indiana. It was during this time, and later through my work as an early employee at OpenGov, helping governments across the county enhance their budget, reporting, and transparency operations. I witnessed firsthand the challenges local leaders face and the transformative power of smart, data-driven financial strategies.
Fate brought Laura and me together at a pivotal moment, a groundbreaking event for I-65 attended by Mike Pence. That day marked not only the beginning of our personal relationship but also the start of a shared vision: to empower communities by bringing clarity, innovation, and trust to municipal finance.
As a husband and wife team, we offer a unique synergy that translates into service for our clients. Our personal partnership is built on mutual respect, trust, and complementary skills. While my background in local government and financial operations provides a solid foundation in regulatory insight and practical experience, Laura’s perspective and passion further enrich our approach, ensuring every client receives tailored, attentive, and memorable service.
Together, we understand that when cities and towns operate with strategic foresight, communities thrive. Our combined expertise and heartfelt dedication to our clients have fueled our mission: to transform communities through best in class municipal financial practices and support communities in reaching their full potential.
Every step we take is guided by our commitment to integrity, innovation, and the belief that strong, accountable financial leadership makes all the difference.
