Our first speaker at yesterday’s meeting was Nick Lepley, Senior Manager at Brady Ware CPAs and Secretary of our AM Spirit chapter.

Nick gave us great insight into Brady Ware, a full-service CPA firm with 67 years in business, headquartered in Dayton and serving the Columbus market since 2006. Their team works with business owners across a wide range of industries—including construction, real estate, property management, auto dealerships, manufacturing and more—providing support with income, state, local, and sales tax needs. One key advantage of working with a CPA firm like Brady Ware is their ability to issue audit reports, something only CPAs can do.

Our speaker at yesterday’s meeting was David Rossman — Associate Attorney at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP and President of our AM Spirit chapter.

David shared one of his passions outside of real estate law… car buying!

He walked us through how to confidently buy a new or used car, noting that he “gets arguably as many referrals for this as for legal work!” His tips and tricks were incredibly insightful!

“I’m a big car guy — I’ve probably driven about 1,000 cars in the last 5–6 years.”

If you need help navigating your next car purchase (or need legal guidance), David is your guy!
