From community college to the ABA
By Nicholas Crispino
Get to know a little about Paul Crispino
Growing up poor with a fairly large family, Paul Crispino probably did not expect to receive a good education and good job. However, he grew up and become a prominent tax lawyer. After high school, Paul Crispino did not want to do anything with his life. Therefore, he went to community college. During community college, Paul Crispino discovered that he wanted to do something with his life, something he loved: accounting. Following college and law school, Paul Crispino got a job in the US Treasury Department. He also worked at GE after many years of working in the government. As of now, Paul Crispino is working at a CPA firm called Deloitte. He is also the chair of the Foreign Activities of US Taxpayers Commitee in the American Bar Association (the ABA), an organization setting standards for lawyers every day. Please listen to this unique and heartwarming story about the amazing man, my uncle, Paul Crispino.
