      From working with Fortune 500 companies to local carpenters, we help our clients recover lost profits and wages resulting from unforeseen circumstances. Companies face many unexpected hardships, and I help them value their lost profits based on historical data, value lost inventory claims for insurance, and the valuation of destroyed assets from natural catastrophes such as Hurricane Harvey or Irma. For individuals, we seek to help recover lost wages from injury, corporate fraud, or any other incidents that they feel entitles them to compensation. Show less

      As a Finance intern, I was responsible for building a cost template that our firm could use to pitch projects to potential new customers. This cost template consisted of 6 different types of renewable energy generators used to power large industrial refrigerators at agricultural facilities across Central California. Getting to work for a true start up allowed me to have ample hands on experience and work directly with the executives. I worked directly with the CEO and CFO, and brain stormed with them about how the cost template should look and the ultimate goals of the template. Show less

      I started off working here as a grocery bag boy. Through my loyalty and work ethic I became a clerk for the lottery booth and was soon the "head bagger."​ This came with the responsibility of overseeing the other high school students that worked there. Had frequent customers that I had built personal relationships with through my years working there. I started off working here as a grocery bag boy.

      I was responsible for grading the fields for three baseball seasons for the local little league baseball organization. This was a job that required me to do at least one field every day during the week. Responsibilities included watering the field, leveling the field, cutting the grass in the outfield, and chalking the boundary lines daily. I was also responsible for getting the snack shack set up and confirming the cash in the register matched the sales from the night before.
