    A true extrovert, Eric enjoys connecting with his clients to genuinely understand them and their unique tax and financial situation. His goal for his clients is to pay their fair share in taxes and nothing more.

    He uses this insight to find ways to best apply the tax code and design a customized tax strategy to save as much as is legally allowable under the current tax code.

    Born in Northern California, Eric is an avid gamer at heart and a natural problem solver. He enjoys spending time with his family and working alongside his wife and business partner, Melissa.

    Eric and Melissa are proud parents of a U.S. Marine.

Her work with Fortune 500 companies such as Apple, Microsoft, IBM, and global entities like the U.S. Air Force and West Point have set new standards for creating purpose-driven cultures of motivation and inclusion.

    Angela’s visionary approach has earned her numerous accolades, including being named one of Forbes’ Top 5 Edupreneurs to Watch, one of IBM’s Top 20 Global Influencers, and one of the Top 100 Women in Technology by Onalytics. She has also been recognized as one of the Top 20 Education Thought Leaders by TrustEd.

    Angela is the author of nine books, including Genius Matters and Classroom Habitudes, and the forthcoming M is for Mattering. Angela is a much sought-after keynote speaker, consultant, and researcher who brings a unique blend of education, neuroscience, and

    innovation to help individuals and organizations cultivate purposeful leadership, meaningful work, and transformative change.

    Angela’s work is grounded in the belief that everyone is built for purpose, deserves dignity, and can create meaningful impact. She has worked with over 50 global companies, educational institutions, nonprofits, and military organizations to implement practical tools for cultivating positive team cultures and igniting the genius within every person.

    When Angela speaks, change is not just possible—it is inevitable.
