He's based out of the Austin area, and I like him enough that he does my taxes remote. I used to be a stubborn DIY (w/ TurboTax) guy until the IRS informed me I screwed up on my taxes a few years back, and I couldn't get myself out of the problem. He took care of it, and saved me some $ in the process so I got an incremental refund. He's done my taxes ever since, and does a great job.
