Other FAQ's

Are you sure you're from Texas? You don't have an accent.
Y'all know I'm not from Texas.

Why do you sometimes wear glasses?
I really enjoy perpetuating the accountant image. I also have a fine assortment of pocket protectors. The real reason? My job made me blind. Without my glasses I can't see the mountains from my office. I plan on sub-leasing my office to someone with vision who can appreciate the view.

Why did you become an accountant?
I was forced by family and friends who all happen to be CPA's with mean streaks. Just kidding. I wanted to gain an overall understanding of business so I could someday own/run/ a company (which is still one of my goals).

Are you going to move from Colorado someday?
You know, it's hard to say. I've grown up here and I love the climate, the mountains, and the sports. But my motto is you only live life once so we may end up somewhere else to experience a different place. Fargo is always an option (sorry if I offended anyone from the Dakotas).

When will you ever get good at golf?
Probably never. Especially if I keep playing with Jeff and my dad.

Why? Why Marc Why?
I have no idea what you're asking.
