I later joined one of my clients full time, serving in corporate finance, supply chain, and operations roles. Much of my work focused on over $1 billion of company acquisitions, including transaction analysis, post-acquisition integration, and building shared services across the enterprise. As a general manager, I was responsible for a team of 50 and a $20 million annual budget. In 2018, I returned home to join the family business. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and registered with the SEC as an Investment Adviser Representative. I joined J.E. Simmons and Company in Dallas to extend my father’s vision of providing integrated financial, tax, and investment advice to high-earning professionals and business owners. I especially enjoy helping clients balance business growth with personal wealth goals, whether that means structuring retirement plans for practice owners or evaluating the financial impact of adding a partner. My background in M&A and operations allows me to bring large-company financial thinking to privately held businesses. I help clients navigate complex, high-stakes decisions with clarity, from evaluating acquisition opportunities to improving cash flow and long-term sustainability.

I have always had a passion for helping people and resolving complex issues. My diverse experiences working in different areas of finance – accounting, tax, family office environment, hedge funds and ultimately becoming an entrepreneur – make me uniquely qualified to serve your needs. My professional career started with three years in public accounting at Arthur Andersen, where I learned firsthand the positive impact of strategic tax planning on wealth accumulation. I transitioned into investment management at a Dallas-based family office before venturing into non-traditional investment strategies and founding Paradigm, where we successfully managed alternative investments for over two decades. I received a Masters of Accountancy with a concentration in Taxation and a Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration in Accounting from the University of Tennessee. I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP®). When I'm not helping others plan for their future, I'm enjoying time with family and friends. My favorite activities include walking, bridge, savoring good food and wine and traveling anywhere and everywhere...connecting with others along the way while I explore local cultures.
