How we got started:

I graduated from UT to be an educator, then a temporary job right out of college turned into a career helping a company exponentially grow in sales, employees, and locations nationwide. This work became a passion! 13 years later and after getting a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and Ethics, I founded Group 1826 with my wife to continue my love for helping businesses. I specifically love the “a-ha” moments (the educator in me), helping clients, and making businesses and lives better! I had the opportunity to start Paige Financial Services in 2020 to help people navigate their finances and taxes post pandemic. Then in early 2023, I began the launch of Quatro Software to meet the growing needs of finding technology solutions in the bookkeeping world. All I can say is, all the time- God is good and He is faithful (even amidst job losses, wondering where the money will come from, illness, etc.).
