Ontario, Canada. ##### What I love doing (when not at work). When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 4 children (+1 more on the way!), motorcycling, reading (non-fiction), and fixing broken stuff, just about anything from small engines to kitchen sinks (think Mr. Fix-It in blue tights and a red cape). I'm an avid shooter (archery, pistol, shotgun, and rifle). Lately, I've been on a homesteading and hobby farming kick. Interesting how hobbies change over time... ##### What I do (professionally). I’m the Head of Finance and Onboarding (HFO for you acronymically inclined folks) for Lean Labs, so I jockey a lot of back-office work and bookkeeping. ##### What makes me good at it. I like organization, scheduling, and predictability. To me, there is nothing like creating good systems and implementing them. I’ve been Operations Manager for 3 successful businesses in the past. ##### Why I do it for Lean Labs? I met Kevin, the owner of Lean Labs, while my family and I were living in Costa Rica (did I mention we moved from paradise back to Kansas?). We came to realize Lean Labs could use my abilities and increase my skills at the same time. It’s been great! ##### Certifications Since joining Lean Labs, I’ve been drinking the Inbound Kool-Aid and I have/had almost every certification HubSpot offers. I've further developed my marketing repertoire with 10 Digital Marketer certifications too. ##### Influential Books I’ve been a devoted convert of Michael Gerber’s “The E-Myth” since I first read it back in 1996\. Michael’s vision for documented, standardized work and processes has become my vocational quest. ![stephen-avatar-flag](https://www.leanlabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LL%20V4.1/Team%20Avatars%20-%20Flag%20solid/stephen-avatar-flag.png?width=260&height=260&name=stephen-avatar-flag.png) _“Born at an early age and now older than he's ever been.
