Why did you choose the Roaring Fork Valley?
“I have always had a passion for the outdoors, and the Roaring Fork Valley happens to be the place that encompasses every outdoor activity I’ve ever dreamed of trying. We have the perfect balance between high-paced and laid-back living. This was a key factor in wanting to get away from the day-to-day stress back in the Southeast.”
What does living the “Aspen Idea” mean to you?
“The ‘Aspen Idea’ is all around us with our mountains, rivers, wildlife, and friendly people - it’s everywhere. And while I’m newer to the area, I feel like I have molded well with the lifestyle. Every chance I get, I take advantage of the multitude of outdoor activities, including hiking, golfing, boating, and snowboarding.”
Why did you choose to join the team at Reese Henry?
“At Reese Henry, we provide the top client service in all aspects, providing a level of communication to our clients that is unmatched in larger firms. Coming from Deloitte Tax LLP, I was seeking the perfect balance between challenging work, an environment that encourages growth, and of course, an actual work-life balance. The ability to go snowboarding for a few laps during the lunch hour is pretty hard to beat!”
