Hi, Thank you for visiting my website. My Name is Duane James. I have over 30 years of experience in the tax and accounting field.  I live in Morehead Kentucky with my wife Judi.  We have three (3)wonderful children and (10) ten gorgeous grandchildren.  I came to Morehead Kentucky some 30 years ago to attend Morehead State University and fell in love with the area.  Morehead is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.  You can fish and swim in Cave Run Lake, climb up to Lockegee Rock and see the marvelous view or hike through the hills of the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Outside of work my interests lie on the golf course, as an avid golfer, I love that Morehead has one of the finest Championship Golf courses in the state of Kentucky.  My brother and I play in many golf tournaments throughout the summer, culminating with a trip to the World Am in Myrtle Beach , SC.  Currently my handicap is in the single digits but if you are a golfer you know that can change very rapidly.
