He has worked on a wide variety of arbitrage rebate and yield restriction matters, including refundings with transferred proceeds, defeasances, penalty in lieu of rebate, pooled financings, parity analysis, universal cap analysis, common fund analysis and investment analysis. He has worked on thousands of arbitrage rebate and yield restriction compliance reports for cities, counties, states, housing authorities, corporations, agencies and school districts.
