As a tax advisor, Mike prepares tax returns and tax plans, contacts clients, handles IRS notices, runs client meetings, and assists advisors with plans when it comes to tax information.

The most important thing to Mike is his family, especially his wife, parents, sister, and pets. Mike loves going to different places together with his family and enjoying new cities or nature!
