I started off in music performance with a degree from the Eastman School of Music (clarinet), but later joined the "real"
world by switching to business. In 1979 I earned an MBA at the prestigious Weatherhead School of Management of Case Western
Reserve University. My accounting career started at Ernst & Young, where I was a senior accountant in audit
and taxation. During the 1980s I started my own CPA practice. It is now called Koester, DiSalvo and Fried.
Our practice specializes in governmental auditing and the audit of nonprofit organizations. In addition, we frequently "peer
review" other CPA firms, to determine if their systems of quality control are appropriately designed, and to determine
if they are complying with their quality controls. I have written a comprehensive book on waste and abuse in
the Social Security system. To read about that book, click here. My wife, Nina, and I have been happily married for over 35 years, and are very proud of our
son David, who is an honors student, working towards the acquisition of a graduate degree in psychology. We reside in
the Cleveland, Ohio area, and all items are posted to this Web site from that geographical area.
