My career has been guided by a belief that ethical practice and technical excellence go hand in hand. Having recently completed my tenure as Director of the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility (2020-2025), I've had the privilege of overseeing professional standards for over 400,000 tax practitioners nationwide. This role brought together my passion for ethics and deep understanding of tax practice and allowed me to shape ethical standards and professional conduct requirements under Treasury Department Circular 230. At the IRS, I was selected to serve as Director of the IRA Tax Provision Implementation Office (2022-2025), leading a transformative initiative to implement 34 tax provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act. This role showcased the importance of clear guidance and practical implementation in major tax reform focusing on clean energy. Before joining the IRS, I was in private practice, representing clients before the IRS, Department of Justice Tax Division, and state taxing authorities. As a partner at Hochman, Salkin, Rettig, Toscher & Perez, PC, I handled hundreds of sensitive civil and criminal tax matters. This experience gave me a valuable perspective on the challenges tax practitioners face and the importance of clear ethical standards.
