Welcome to George W. Daverio School of Accountancy. We provide an environment that enables committed students to achieve their goals. Students are held to the highest standard of professional rigor while simultaneously encouraged to achieve it. Additionally, we are proud of our high caliber faculty who blend their professional and academic experience into a vibrant and engaging experience for students.
Finally, I am also a proud alumnus of the George W. Daverio School of Accountancy. After graduation, I spent ten years working in corporate and public accounting specializing in tax. I then spent several years serving in the US Peace Corps helping to establish small business development centers. I am proud to now return to my alma matter and give back to this community.
Please consider joining our community and developing your own professional path. Feel free to email me with questions.
