John Groom, CPA, received his undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from UCLA. Originally with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. (KPMG) in Southern California, he has now been in private practice for over twenty-five years. Besides his consulting, tax practice and speaking engagements, he is also an investor and landlord.
When he is hired to speak, it is generally to teach or coach knowledgeable investors and business owners who have already invested a lot of time and money in acquiring their own expertise on business, real estate and income tax matters.
He has several hobbies, some of which involved seeing how fast he could make a car or a motorcycle go around in useless circles without killing himself. He has moved past that now, but still teaches defensive tactics at a local sheriff’s department.
And no, he really does not want to be a lion tamer.
