    Heather Sprauve is a native of Deer Park, California.  She attended Pacific Union College (PUC) in Angwin, then transferred to their sister college, Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster, Massachusetts, before returning to Angwin to complete her degree. She started out as an art major but after taking her first business class, discovered an aptitude for accounting and made that her major.  Heather moved to the Virgin Islands where she married and spent 18 years working for an accounting firm. She worked for BDCo part-time for a few years and then following the devastating impact of hurricanes Irma and Maria, returned to California.   While she enjoys being back in California, Heather misses her daily view of the  Caribbean Ocean from almost any spot on the 31 square mile island of St. Thomas. Her interests include hiking, traveling and exploring new places.

    *Definition is here.  When asked about her favorite part of her last job, Alex Castro was quick to respond "the view".  An avid appreciator of both the beauties of nature and the essence of people, one of her favorite non-work activities is to head to the beach to watch the sunset. Alex is a Napa native with experience in the wine and sports training industries.  Arriving for her first day of work in the middle of the Covid-19 stay at home order, Alex met the team online.  Her upbeat energy and positive, infectious attitude are a great addition to our customer service team - both in person and online.

    Dawn Marshall is a Napa native.  She briefly left the Napa Valley for a sojourn to Miami, Florida but returned to Napa to begin her professional career. Her first job was in a florist, before moving to high-end hospitality, then winery accounting and for the past 17 years she has been serving in a number of different roles in city government, culminating in the role of Human Resources and Administrative Manager. She is a two time recipient of “Award of Financial Reporting” by the Government Finance Officers Association. When she’s not helping “humans with resources”, she is likely to be gardening, quilting, or arranging items in her home to be more aesthetically pleasing. Dawn is the mother of 3 children – 2 sons and a daughter who all seem to have inherited some of her creative abilities. As a young woman, Dawn went off to purchase her first automobile, a Renault, at a local Napa automobile dealer. While she was unsuccessful in securing her dream automobile, she ultimately walked away with a first date with her now husband of 29 years.

    Lisa Akrawi is a recent graduate of Walla Walla University where she earned a BBA with a concentration in accounting. She was drawn to accounting by her interest in numbers, organization, and balance.  The child of a multi-cultural family, Lisa sees accounting as another specialized language to learn and apply. The symmetry of accounting also appeals to her overall sense of aesthetics which she applies in her many creative pursuits.     As a former student at Pacific Union College, Lisa is happy to be back in the Napa Valley which she appreciates as the “perfect combination of city and country without being terribly suburban.”  She is a frequent traveler and hopes to return to Venice, Italy for a chance to learn more about its unique experiences.

    Rebekah Kramer, CPA is a manager at Brotemarkle Davis & Co. specializing in assurance services and business consulting.   She is originally from Napa, California and is a Justin-Sienna High School alumnus. She is a graduate of Concordia University, Irvine where she majored in Business Administration with a dual emphasis in Marketing and Accounting.  She spent three years working for a Southern California accounting firm before returning to the Napa Valley. While she may not find many opportunities to apply her SoCal yacht-counting expertise (she once had to count yachts docked in ports from San Diego to Newport), her diverse audit skills honed from working with customers in Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, and Real Estate are a big plus. Rebekah first stretched her entrepreneurial muscles when she founded a chapter of co-ed business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, at Concordia. She hopes to apply what she learned not only to her role as an auditor but also to some day opening an animal shelter. When she is not busy auditing, you might find Rebekah exploring a new trail or revisiting one of her favorite national parks – Denali in Alaska.  Rebekah is a CPA licensed by the California Board of Accountancy.

    Gabe Rotella is a graduate of Pacific Union College where he holds a BBA in Management and is working on his accounting degree. A former employee of the college, he has also spent many summers working in his family’s retail business in Vermont . He says accounting appeals to him because he can apply his talent at adding efficiencies and effectiveness to business processes. He is a sports fan (Go Patriots!) but on weekends you are likely to find him outdoors. Gabe is a CPA licensed by the California Board of Accountancy.

    Mattie Eagle is a graduate of Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa where she majored in History and Studio Art.  After graduation, travel, and several applications of her entrepreneurial talents, she went back to school at Western New Mexico University to gain the accounting credits that qualified her to become a CPA. She was raised in Minnesota and now lives in Silver City, New Mexico with her husband and two children. She is a full-time member of the BDCo tax team. She particularly enjoys researching tax laws as they change in search of new opportunities to help our customers. Mattie loves supporting her customers as they take calculated risks, pursue the expansion of their passions, and become owners of their financial futures. An avid cyclist, Mattie is inspired by those who lead a “self-directed life” and enjoys applying her considerable talents to local sports, charitable organizations, and entrepreneurs who are seeking to build successful businesses.  Mattie is a CPA licensed by the New Mexico Board of Accountancy.

    After earning a BA in Accounting from Golden Gate University, Leigh Meyers applied her talents to both public accounting and industry. She is an Enrolled Agent (EA) which is a designation issued by the IRS for tax practitioners who pass their examination and meet other requirements for ongoing training. She has worked with attorneys and vineyard management companies in the Napa Valley and comes to the wine industry with great perspective and an inherited appreciation for farming. Leigh says she was drawn to accounting because of her math skills which have always come easy to her. She works on the tax team and enjoys "untangling messes". She is an equal opportunity animal lover and has two cats and two dogs. When she is not at work, you will find her bicycling around the Napa Valley in what we can only imagine are the most stylish of outfits.  Leigh is an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the Internal Revenue Service.
