Career

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. 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. 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. Currently, Gallagher helps corporate employees and other audiences realize the ramifications of their ethical choices and works with firms in fraud prevention."Avoiding the slippery slope of unethical behavior"
