Keeping his eye on the ball.
The ping pong ball, that is: Bart was his junior class ping pong champion (an informal title, but still). It’s that laser focus and following his mantra — you’ll miss 100% of the shots you don’t take — that have helped Bart achieve so many of his goals: traversing the Grand Canyon, starting a family, and moving from his hometown of Dayton, Ohio to Columbus to begin his next chapter with GBQ as a Tax Senior Manager.
He loves the feeling of satisfaction that comes from completing a complex project or executing the “just right” tax planning strategy for his clients.
