After selling that company in 2003, John went to work for a large regional accounting firm where he divided his time between representing clients in sales & use tax controversies and examinations, and tax compliance work for non-​resident aliens. In June of 2008, John commenced a full-​time practice concentrating on the needs of foreign nationals living and working in the United States and U.S. Citizens living and working abroad.
