Mike Greenleaf's Story

Here is a short biography for those with nothing else to do: my website is greenleaftax dot com wherein I post to a blog on a somewhat regular basis... I graduated from Morris Harvey College in 1974 with a degree in accounting. I worked for a few years in public accounting and as the Treasurer of Morris Harvey and decided to go back to school for an MBA at Marshall University. After I completed my MBA in 1980, I taught Finance, Accounting and Statistics at West Virginia State University until 1985 or so. I was appointed City Treasurer of a small city (Nitro WV) which I performed on a part-time basis while developing my practice. I have been a tax practitioner for over 30 years and from the looks of things as I write this, we are going to be very busy the next few years. For 12 years I ran the tax department for the Sheriff of Kanawha County (the largest in the state). After a new Sheriff was elected in 1996 I went into private practice exclusively. I now operate out of a new office building that I own. I have an excellent staff which is more than I deserve. Were it not for my assistant, I would never be where I am supposed to be, on time. My practice consists of small and medium sized business clients and high net worth individuals. I also represent taxpayers involved in nasty disputes with the IRS. It is quite fun. I charge a lot of money to represent people and usually get a good deal for them. Also, I take ...Expand for more
3 or 4 pro bono cases a year. I sort of feel the need to pay someone back for the education I have and that's how I do it. I still play the piano. I purchased a Steinway grand about 20 years ago and it is my baby. I play too much golf. My handicap is 6. My son is 27 years old and is finishing his degree at Marshall University in economics. His girlfriend recently underwent a heart transplant and it has slightly delayed his education, but his Mom and I are glad he is about to finish. My wife - Lynda - is a retired school teacher. She taught for 32 years in West Virginia schools - we have been married since 1977. We are an item. She is a doll. That is a short history of my life since high school. It is boring but it is mine! UPDATE 5/17/2010 - Nothing really new to report. I was elected to a three year term on the board of governors of Sleepy Hollow Golf Club - the only entity which interests me these days. I am the campaign treasurer for my close friend Mike Hall who is a current WV state senator and will be the minority leader next year. Mike is unopposed in this election cycle so I am sort of out of work! Good for Mike H and Mike G! My close friend Danny Jones, with whom I have engaged in several pitched political battles, is still mayor of Charleston and told me a week ago he is running for his third term - he will win, of course, because Danny is the greatest - the most honest person I have ever known.
