"I met J.P. at a Union League Club art reception two years ago, and have enjoyed PACE ever since. I am a CPA, formerly with Arthur Andersen (back in the days when that was a good thing), and now with my own practice (since 1995). I have a son living in the San Francisco Bay area, where he attended Berkeley.

I love living in the middle of the city, close to all the things I enjoy: symphony, opera, bicycling, running, art museums and galleries, books, the Union League Club, travel. Lately I have enjoyed taking my photography hobby more seriously – you can see some of my photos on the PACE site.

Professionally: please don’t ask me tax questions – not my specialty. But if you know of a business looking to outsource its accounting or CFO function, I can be contacted at dave@davidlade.com."
