Early life and education
[edit]Gallagher was born in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1975, he enrolled at Appalachian State University and successfully earned a bachelor’s degree in Accounting in 1979 and a master's degree in accounting by 1989. [8] During his collegiate years, Gallagher took part in various extracurricular activities and societies and was a dedicated member of Beta Alpha Psi. [9]
Career
[edit]Gallagher serves as a chief operating officer for American Funeral Financial and served as a senior vice president for Stewart Enterprises. He is also the president of Ethics Resource Group and SportsEthics.com.[10]
At the age of 26, Gallagher became the youngest tax partner in a regional CPA firm and was one of only three CPAs in the country asked to testify before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on a new employee benefits provision of the tax law. During that time, he authored numerous articles for national publications and has developed several continuing professional education (CPE) seminars.[11]
Gallagher's career took a significant turn, leading to the loss of his professional standing as he was convicted of embezzlement and tax evasion in 1995.[8][12] Currently, Gallagher helps corporate employees and other audiences realize the ramifications of their ethical choices and works with firms in fraud prevention.[12][13]
