What Guides My Decision Making: When making all significant decisions, I (and other members of our senior leadership team) are guided by the core values at CBIZ. The first on the list is “We do the Right Thing.” By always starting with that mindset, we ensure that all decisions are values driven and consider the impact on our three key stakeholder groups, including our team members, clients and shareholders.

Most Important Leadership Quality: Integrity
If I Could Have Any Other Job: A youth football coach committed to helping build self-esteem and teaching important lessons around self-confidence, leadership, teamwork and resiliency
Proudest Moment: The number of people on our team based in locations across the country who go out of their way to say that “they have never worked someplace like CBIZ” when commenting on our values-based culture
