In 2009 I left my corporate job and jumped right into tax preparation when I purchased an H & R Block office in Northern WI. In 2013 my family decided to move back to the Hudson/New Richmond area to be closer to family. I worked at a tax firm in Stillwater for 2 years always knowing I would eventually open my own office. In September of 2015 I opened Premier Tax in Hudson WI. After 30+ years in the working world, I found my passion in tax preparation, accounting, and consulting. I love working with clients to get the best outcome possible on their taxes. I look forward to doing this for many years to come! I live southwest of New Richmond with my husband of 32 years, Jon, and my son Blake who is 17 and a senior in high school.

I have been in the Hudson area since 2013 and decided to join the Premier Tax team after many years in operations. As crazy as it sounds, I love numbers, spreadsheets, and learning new tax laws that can help my clients. My primary focus is getting to know my clients and learning their unique story to help them achieve their best financial outcome on their taxes. I enjoy traveling, reading, baking, cooking, and spending time with my family. My husband and I have one daughter Aubree who is 21 and currently a student at UWSP.

I am Wendy’s niece and I started the business with her in 2015, working the first year with her. I was 23 and still trying to figure out what I wanted to do, so I went on to pursue other things. I received a degree in Human Services and worked in banking for the next 7 years. I came back to Premier Tax in 2022 and am now doing individual tax returns and look forward to continuing to expand my tax knowledge. I live in Roberts Wisconsin with my husband Nick. We have 3 children Ryan 14, Carson 4, and Harper who turned 1 in October.

I started working part time at Premier Tax in 2018. You may not see me when you come in as I do tax work behind the scenes and do not meet with clients. I have a Bachelors Degree in Accounting from St Cloud State. I’m a CPA and work full time for the State of Minnesota in Auditing. I live in Lake Elmo with my wife Kim. We have two grown children. Ryan (Dani) and Aly. We also have two fur babies still at home. My wife and Wendy’s husband are cousins.

I’ve had the delightful opportunity to work part-time at the front desk of Premier Tax after I retired from my career as a school counselor. I love helping people and working with the amazing staff at Premier Tax. I moved from Madison to Hudson to be near my daughter Heidi, family, and friends and absolutely love it here! I enjoy walking by the river and taking in the historical downtown.

I joined the Premier Tax team in 2024 as the front desk receptionist. If you stop by our Hudson office, I will most likely be the first smiling face you see. I obtained a degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 2019. I then moved to the greater Twin Cities area from Baraboo WI in 2020 to be closer to my husband’s family. I live with my husband Hunter and our many pets in Bayport MN.
