Introduction


Well, this is the first of what will hopefully be many blog entries to come. As an introduction let me tell you a little about myself. I was formerly an associate attorney at a large law firm in Nevada. While working there, I had an epiphany that what would make me most happy, from a legal standpoint, would be the advising of non-profit entities. The way to do that, is to become a specialist in the area of tax exemption in order to properly be able to advise such entities. That brings us to today. I have recently enrolled in the LLM in Taxation program at Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, Illinois. I have uprooted my family and my life from Reno, Nevada, to the hustle and bustle of Chicago, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

My intention with this blog is to hopefully update it regularly to keep the interested public up to speed on the relevant tax law as it relates to tax exempt entities. I also intend to publish personal anecdotes and stories about the return to what is a very comprehensive and very difficult program of study. Both topics will be interesting (hopefully to all, preferably to most, but definitely to a few!)

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to keeping you up to date on a regular basis. Later Skaters!
