Ever heard of a "musician's musician?" Now imagine being an accountant to accountants--and at one of the most respected firms in the region. That's Steve Shulze, Senior Director and Controller at Clark Nuber. It may seem high-pressure, but Steve takes it all in stride. "Because of the great variety of what I do--from supervising the internal accounting staff to planning operational strategy--it never gets dull. Plus, the people here are truly great." While he has an impeccable eye for numbers and financial strategy as a lifelong student of accounting, Steve is also a passionate "foodie" and you would be right if you guessed that the Food Network is always on at his house.
