Among his numerous achievements, Sadler has earned specialty designations from the AICPA as “Accredited in Business Valuation” and “Certified in Financial Forensics.” He is a Certified Fraud Examiner and a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.

In addition to Sadler’s numerous accomplishments, he is a past president of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Lakewood and a former member of the Tacoma/Pierce County Economic Development Board.

A graduate of the University of Puget Sound, Sadler began his professional career in 1968 with Johnson, Paulson & Stolz (now Ernst & Young), becoming a CPA in 1969. He later joined Donald R.
