About the Author

Alvin M. Stenzel is a writer (as well as a CPA and a corporate officer) in the Washington, D.C. area. His first book, Approaching the CPA Examination: A Personal Guide to Examination Preparation (John Wiley & Sons, New York), was an intimate, personal, motivational exploration of the mental, psychological, and physical preparations necessary to pass a major technical examination.

Mr. Stenzel has written articles for newspapers and trade journals, and has written and published a monthly newsletter on personal and spiritual issues. He has also written a number of short stories and has completed his first novel, The Crystal Pond. He is a native of Portsmouth, Virginia and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in mathematics from the University of Richmond (Richmond, Virginia). He has been active for many years in volunteer work, serving as CPR area coordinator and member of the Board of Directors for the American Heart Association in Richmond, VA, volunteer President of an employee credit union, founding board member of a professional educational society, and Treasurer of a United Way agency in Washington, D.C. He has also served twice as a Loaned Executive to the United Way campaign.

The author is in his seventh year of working with Washington area high school students in the Junior Achievement program. In the High School Company Program, he guides students in the creation of their own corporation. Through hands-on experience, Mr. Stenzel helps students learn what to expect in the business world, aiding them in planning for college and building a successful future. Mr. Stenzel was Keynote Speaker at Junior Achievement of the National Capital Area's 1994 annual awards convocation and was nominated for the Maryland Governor's Volunteer Award.
