<<< Jeff Bauman >>>
Introduce your family:
I was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I am an only child. My parents moved to Satellite Beach, FL when I was 4 years old. I played soccer growing up and my freshman year of college. I attended the University of Central Florida and then the University of Florida (Go Gators!). I met my wife, Jill, at UF and we got married in 2002. We have 6 children, ranging in age from 8-21. All of my kids' names begin with "J" - Jay, Jocelyn, Jack, Jenna, Jacob and James. My kids all play soccer and some also play basketball, golf, flag football and pickleball. 3 of my kids play soccer in college, 2 boys at Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL and my daughter at Belmont Abbey in Charlotte, NC. I enjoy playing golf and watching my kids play sports. When we're all together, we enjoy travelling, watching movies or just hanging out with our 3 dogs, Oscar, Rex and Macy.
What are you most looking forward to over the next couple of months?
We are taking a family vacation to Bozeman, Montana in July. We will visit Yellowstone National Park and do some rafting and hiking around the area. I'm looking forward to escaping the Florida heat for a little while. I'm also looking forward to our Tampa office being opened and our open house event that will be held in the Fall.
Why do you do what you do?
Whether it's being a supportive husband, dad, or fractional CFO, I enjoy helping others any way I can. I also enjoy solving complex issues through research and collaboration with others. If I can't help someone with a problem, I try to find someone who is better suited to help. I realize that I can't do anything by myself, so I try to surround myself with people who are talented and smarter than I am. I enjoy working at Brixey & Meyer because I'm allowed to utilize my strengths to help the firm be successful.
What’s one thing most people don’t know about you, but should?
I love snow skiing.
Name one thing still left on your bucket list.
Backpacking throughout Europe in the Spring or Fall with my family
At which store would you like to max-out your credit card?
Dick's Sporting Goods.
That's a wrap! We can't wait to share more about all of our team members, but since there is more to us than just counting beans we are going to take this one rockstar at a time! Until next #MeetUsMonday ... Go Make Dreams Come True.
