Appraisal Experience and Scholarship
Jack received his Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from the Arizona State University in 1988. While in college, he worked at the local mid-sized regional CPA firm, Price, Kong & Company, preparing monthly financial statements and performing tax work. Upon graduation, he took a position in the audit department of international CPA firm KPMG.
After a few years at KPMG, he took over the operation of an auction company, where he discovered the equipment appraisal industry and immediately developed a passion for it. He quickly earned his accreditation as a senior appraiser (ASA) and founded NorCal Valuation and has gone on to become a respected member of the machinery and equipment appraisal industry as well as a leader in the appraisal review and management.
He is a past president of the northern California chapter of the American Society of Appraisers, serves on the ASA committee for international appraisal review and management, and appraises equipment and machinery throughout California and the Western United States. He also co-wrote and continues to teach the appraisal review and management accreditation classes currently being offered by the ASA.
