TOM CRANE

My name is Mathew Thomas (Tom) Crane. I am a Partner in Brown, Crane and Associates, Ltd., which was formed in 1997. I graduated from Monroeville High School in 1986 and Tiffin University in 1995, with a Bachelors degree. I also received my Enrolled Agent license in 2007. I currently live in Norwalk with my wife Jackie and my two children, Jessica and Zach. Jackie is an office manager for Wasiniak Construction. I am very active in my Church by serving as a board of directors and also on the Administration Council. I belong to several organizations including the National Association of Enrolled Agents, Ohio Society of Enrolled Agents, National Association of Tax Professionals and National Federation of Independent Business Owners. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and golfing.

TRACY BROWN

My name is Tracy Brown and I am a partner in Brown, Crane & Associates Ltd. I actually started the business out of my home in 1995 when my oldest daughter was born. The business took off and grew to the point of adding a partner (Tom Crane) and employees and then moving out of my home and into Norwalk, Ohio. I am a 1988 graduate of Monroeville High School and EHOVE Career Center. I also took classes at Bowling Green State University, majoring in Accounting. I have worked in the accounting field for over 33 years. A couple of those years were working in an accounting setting while I was attending high school. I am a past president of the Huron County Chamber of Commerce (2009). I am currently sitting on the board of the Huron County Chamber of Commerce and the Norwalk Area United Fund. I live in rural Norwalk with my husband, Eric. We have 3 children … Lauran, Erin and Isaac. Eric is a financial advisor and specializes in estate planning, retirement saving and investing. Eric and I are also involved in our family farm operation. As if all of that work is not enough, we also have rental properties. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, working out, gardening and cooking.
