Why did your company decide to sponsor FEI Tampa Bay Chapter?
FEI is a fantastic organization – they have amazing networking events on-site at many local companies and place an emphasis on giving back to the community. Our team recently had the opportunity to volunteer with FEI at Metropolitan Ministries and had a wonderful time supporting the families there.
What are you looking forward to most about being involved in FEI Tampa Bay?
I’m looking forward to meeting key executives in the Tampa Bay area and helping them to achieve their financial goals and growth expectations. I also really enjoy the local company events that provide an inside look at companies in our area. I enjoy seeing how an organization runs and operates and learning about their business.
How does your company provide value to finance executives in the Tampa Bay area?
Leeds Professional Resources helps companies build the most important aspect of the organization – the people. We help companies grow by finding and hiring the best finance and accounting professionals in the Tampa Bay area! I am passionate about helping a candidate find a new home and hearing how they in turn are helping an organization meet their financial goals to grow and save money.
What is your best networking tip?
Smile, say hello to the newcomer and make them feel welcomed. Also, always follow up after the networking event with coffee, lunch or at least an email or LinkedIn connection.
What are some of your personal hobbies outside of work?
Besides being a husband and a father of two – I am very active in PPG (powered paragliding – yes, it’s the guy with the wing above his head and engine strapped to my back flying over the beaches and golf courses), scuba diving, traveling, camping and motorcycle driving.
