Husband of 36 years to my college sweetheart, Janet Murphy (@janetmurphydesign on Instagram). Together we have 6 wonderful children from ages 18-34 and 6 grandchildren. My main work is helping commercial building owners and real estate investors save money on their income taxes by doing cost segregation. I work all over the U.S. but have a lot of clients here in SC and in the southeast in particular. The firm I represent is CSSI, LLC. I love the work! I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
