I have been in the construction bookkeeping field for 15 years. I stumbled across the field after being laid off from a civilian government job and deciding to make a career change. It has been a challenge in the most rewarding way to start in a field where I had little to no experience. Now, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the industry and what I can do to excel in my career field. I enjoy learning from others and finding new, more efficient ways to complete tasks. In this industry there is something new to learn everyday as things are constantly evolving.

My husband, Jason, and I have three kids ranging in age from 10 to 19 and we also have 5 amazing rescue dogs. Our newest addition, Arson (Dalmatian), is a perfect fit as my husband is a civilian firefighter with the USAF. With our oldest in college, we are getting our first taste of being semi-empty nesters. We enjoy spending time with our kids, dogs, and finding treasures at antique shops and trying new restaurants. Born and raised in the Midwest, we also enjoy trying to predict the weather as we sometimes experience all 4 seasons in one day. It certainly makes life interesting!

Andrew began his journey in the accounting industry in 2012 after graduating from the University of Massachusetts- Dartmouth with a Bachelors of Science in Accounting. After graduation, he started working as a staff accountant at a local circuit board manufacturing company in New Bedford. He then went on to work as an accountant at a drywall company where he was introduced into the construction industry and gained much of his clerical construction knowledge. The constant contact between estimators, project managers, field superintendents, subcontractors, general contractors, owners and field personnel was instrumental to his growth. He was later promoted to the company Controller, with his main focus on operations. Andrew went on to a larger carpentry company as an accountant where he handled all of the day-to-day accounting needs as well as the job/projects financials and worked with management on process improvements.
