Talent Acquisition Consultant @Distinct | North America

Tampa, FL, US

I spent 19 years as a professional footballer, starting my career at Millwall FC where I broke into the first team at 17. Soon after, I played against Manchester United and set the record as the youngest player ever to appear in an FA Cup Final, a record that still stands today.I made close to 600 appearances for clubs including Leeds United, Swindon Town, Scunthorpe United, Gillingham, Barnet, Chesterfield, AFC Fylde and Buxton FC. I now play part-time for Mickleover FC while focusing full-time on recruitment. Why does football matter here?The lessons I learned in professional sport, discipline, resilience, leadership, and performing under pressure, directly shape the way I work as a recruiter. I’m competitive, driven, and take pride in helping others succeed, whether that’s on the pitch or in their careers. What I do nowI specialise in recruiting for public accounting firms across Florida, helping CPAs and firms connect in ways that unlock career growth and business success. Whether it’s supporting an individual looking for better work-life balance or helping a firm attract top audit and tax professionals, my role is to guide both sides to achieve their goals.I enjoy partnering with: • CPAs seeking career progression, international opportunities, or better balance. • Public accounting firms looking to attract and retain high-quality professionals. What drives meI’m positive, approachable, and competitive in the right way, always striving to raise standards. I’m passionate about fitness, wellness, and self-development, and I regularly share insights on motivation, leadership, and performance with my network.‍‍ Outside of work, I’m a husband and dad of three children. I enjoy family holidays, fitness, cinema trips, and time with friends. Feel free to connect if you’re in Florida public accounting, whether you’re a firm hiring, a professional open to opportunities, or just interested in swapping career and performance insights.
