Experience

Prior to Tony’s current role, he served as national tax consulting leader, national state and local tax practice leader, Central region industrial products industry leader, and tax market leader for Nebraska. Having served in many leadership roles during his tenure with RSM, he brings a unique perspective for future strategic opportunities in tax.

Tony has extensive experience with large-scale projects and tax consulting for international clients in a variety of industries including manufacturing, distribution, technology and consumer products. He understands the value clients place on the firm’s deep industry knowledge and digital tax service capabilities.

Tony believes RSM’s ability to deliver a differentiated client experience lies in its diverse and collaborative work culture. He is committed to developing and improving the lives of those he leads and often challenges colleagues by asking, “How can we take what we have and make it better?” Under Tony’s leadership, tax professionals are encouraged to be curious and think critically, which has enabled the implementation of numerous innovative tax consulting and compliance services over the years.

As a member of the STAR employee network group, Tony is passionate about mentoring and providing advocacy and advancement opportunities for women across the firm. Outside of RSM, he was recognized by his local business community as one of the “40 under 40” in 2009 and by his alma mater as the recipient of the alumni achievement award in 2013.
