Hi, I'm Chad.

After graduating from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2015 with bachelor’s degrees in Accounting and Finance, I returned to my hometown of Lynden and joined the Larson Gross team. Today, I’m a CPA and Senior Manager, proud to support our clients and community.

I specialize in income and estate tax, working closely with individuals and family groups to help them navigate their financial plans with confidence. It’s incredibly rewarding to guide clients through such personal and sometimes overwhelming decisions. I also serve as treasurer for the Northwest Washington Estate Planning Council, where I enjoy collaborating with other professionals in the field.

When I’m not working or listening to a personal wealth management strategy podcast, I enjoy golfing, spending time with friends, and cheering on the Seahawks, Mariners, and my alma mater, the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
