Senior Director
Always wearing a serious smile.
Wade lives by the words, “Everything worth having is always preceded by love and passion.” Over his long career, he has put both love and passion into his work, forging solid relationships with clients and mentoring those around him. His grace under pressure and persistence combine to make him one accountant that’s equal parts tough and kind—exactly who you want on your team when you’re facing a difficult problem.
“My Dad taught me to be competitive and my Mom taught me to be nice to people,” he says. And we’re glad they did.
