Joni Blake
Joni joined the firm in 2008 as a Senior Staff Accountant. She graduated from Central Washington University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting, and has more than twenty years of accounting background. Joni has spent the last ten years with a CPA firm in Bellevue serving a variety of closely held business clients including construction, health care, and commercial entities, and has now shortened her commute by joining Jackson, Morgan & Hunt.
Joni is a native to West Seattle, originally from the Gatewood Hill area. She remains connected with West Seattle as a volunteer for the Girl Scouts of America. She is an involved parent of two and also volunteers as a CYO Volleyball coach. Joni enjoys walking in West Seattle, so if you see her on foot near the Junction, be sure to say "hello."
Chris Julien
Chris began his professional development with the firm in August of 2007. Before then, he spent most of his life in Michigan and attended both Michigan State University and Grand Valley State University, where he earned his Master of Science in Accounting. While earning his Master's Degree, he managed a restaurant, which taught him valuable experience in the dynamics of the small business. Chris is working towards his CPA designation and plans to have that accomplished before the end of 2008. So far his professional interests are in the areas of taxation and controllership.
Chris actively plays guitar and has multiple guitars and old fashioned amplifiers. Before he moved to the Pacific Northwest, he was an active member of several rock bands in which he was also the singer. He hopes to eventually form a similar act here in his new home. His other greatest interest is baseball, and he is an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Diane E. Spangler
Diane joined the firm in 2006 with more than 25 years of experience in the accounting field. In her role as an Administrative Assistant, she is an integral part of the team. Diane's calm demeanor and upbeat personality are real assets during crunch time when she collates several hundred tax returns throughout the season. And all with a smile on her face.
When she's not digging into a project at work; you can find Diane digging in her garden. Her other passions include beach combing, shopping, watching movies, and spending time with her two granddaughters, who are after all, the reason she moved from Columbus, Ohio to the great Northwest.
