interests such as soccer, cricket, traveling, and business. Upon 
graduating, he continued his studies at the O'level Institute where he 
received two A' levels (Law and Accounting) and later worked for the 
Barbados Internal Revenue Department as a Tax Officer.

preparation services. This can be seen by the service he provides to 
numerous clients in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut region.
