 Mr.
Collins is a Certified Public Accountant,
Controller and Chief Financial Officer. He
started his career in 1970 at Main Lafrentz
& Company (subsequently merged with KPMG
Peat Marwick). In 1976, he joined National
Education Corporation where he served as
Controller for a number of divisions and
subsidiaries. This provided Mr. Collins with
experience in the day-to-day administration,
operation and accounting needs of a
business.
In 1984, Mr. Collins
joined Allied Education Corporation as
Controller and Chief Financial Officer. He
has first-hand experience in the bankruptcy
system, having been a key financial officer
charged with the administration of the
bankruptcy estate for Allied Education where
he met Mr. Mosier who was appointed Chapter
11 Bankruptcy Trustee in 1991. Since then,
he has also served as Executive Vice
President of United Education & Software, a
company that once generated $100 million in
revenues and was publicly traded on the
NASDAQ. Mr. Collins was part of a team
headed by Mosier as CEO to sell a number of
schools in order to maximize the value of
these assets for the benefit of creditors.
Because of his strong
quantitative orientation, Mr. Collins has
become the quantitative side of Mosier &
Company. He oversees most operating and real
estate cases providing both the financial
history of the project (as may be required
by the Court and or the Parties) and more
importantly, the operating pro forma for
going forward. Accurate score keeping and
compliance with both regulatory issues and
court procedures is essential to any company
that finds itself doing business under the
supervision of the Court.
As a team where Mr.
Collins brings the skills as an accountant
and Mr. Mosier brings the perspective of an
experienced fiduciary, they have been tapped
several times by the Courts directly to
prepare neutral accountings and serve as the
Court’s expert witness on the financial
aspects of a case. This has generated a
significant number of Referee and Expert
Witness assignments, in addition to being
Court’s Expert on occasion.
Mr. Collins earned a
Bachelor of Science degree at Fresno State
College in 1970 and became a Certified
Public Accountant in 1973. He is a member of

Accountants, the California Society of

accounting conducted by the Association of
