School Story
Graduated from U.of Idaho, June 1957 with a B.S degree
in Civil Engineering.Worked as a construction engineer for
Tidewater Oil co. in Seattle, Fresno, L.A. and Sacramento from 1957 to 1962. Then worked as a development engineer for Aerojet General from
1962-1966. Started doing income taxes part time in 1964. Accepted employment withExxon in Phoenix in June 1966 and was in charge of all
service station construction in the State of Arizona and Clark Co., Nv. from
1966-1972. As a part time business to help support large family, also became the state manager for Skousen Tax Service out of L.A. Started with 16 part time reps in 1968 and we did 1200 return. lBusiness grew rapidly un til by 1972, we had 150 parttime reps and were doing 15000 returns. Wife said I had togive up one or the other. Decided I like tax prep
and financial planning better than engineering, so in 1974 resigned as an
engineer with Exxon, formed my own company, Unitied Tax, and have been
doing tax return and financial planning ever since. Still working as I love it, and enjoy helping people.
