Erica Riddle, CPA is a manager at Brotemarkle Davis & Co. specializing in assurance services, operational reviews and business consulting.  Erica also serves as the firm's wine industry analyst, spearheading the firm's efforts to provide and share key insights into the wine business with our customers.  Erica joined BDCo in 2013 with a Masters in Accounting from California State University, Sacramento and is certified in Strategic Performance Management. Prior to joining BDCo, she was the Labor Optimization Manager at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Although her office was located right next to a roller coaster, Erica says her favorite attraction at the park was the tigers she first got to know as cubs.  As a knitting hobbyist, Erica says the key to her success is patience and concentration, which also makes her a wizard at spreadsheets, programming, and all things accounting. She also holds the unprecedented distinction of being a candy maker and is a "third-generation Riddle Brittler". Erica is a CPA licensed by the California 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.

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.

Laura Crump is a graduate of the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama where she earned a B.S. in Accounting. Upon graduation, she was determined to cross an item off of her bucket list, and moved from her home in Birmingham, Alabama to California. She applied online for positions on the west coast and once hired, headed to her first job at a travel agency in Santa Rosa. She will be sharing her insights as a member of the audit and assurance team.  She is a born adventurer and has traveled to Italy and most recently Costa Rica to see her favorite animal, the sloth. She is hoping to make a trip to Iceland in the near future.           Laura is a CPA licensed by the California State Board of Accountancy.

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.

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.

Gregg is a CPA licensed by the California Board of Accountancy..
