What do you do at The Grossbauer Group?
I wear several hats at The Grossbauer Group. I administer company finances (payroll, account payables/receivables, and taxes), train and orient new staff, and direct employee benefits. I also fill in wherever it's needed to help with a variety of projects. I oversee the company's day-to-day operations, manage our business agreements, and ensure that our team has the resources they need to do their amazing work.

Whether I'm leading a project or supporting the team, I feel good working with such great people who write, design, program, and share such remarkable projects.

I put my earbuds in, crank the volume of my Spotify playlist, put my head down, and focus on knocking things out.

How do you spend your weekends?
During the weekends I am usually pretty busy. My wife and I like to travel and catch a live comedy show, a concert, or movie. If there's a trivia night or new museum exhibit, we'll be there. I also enjoy volunteering with our local Boys and Girls Clubs, getting involved in political events, and catching up with friends.
What brings you joy?
Volunteering, learning new things, devouring saucy BBQ with a side of mac and cheese, and hanging out with my wife and our cat and dog.

What's on your to-do list this year?
