Chris Hinchey, Head of School, Heathwood Hall Episcopal School
"The Big Back Pack Team performed a 3-day safety audit for our school. Steve was a delight to work with, and his team brings a wealth of very specific skills and experiences to the table. We are now utilizing the Safety Audit Report to prioritize our challenges and opportunities for growth. I was grateful for his expertise and appreciated his perspective as a former Head of School. I encourage you to reach out to Steve and Big Back Pack to discuss his services."
Kerry Palmer, Head of School, Trinity Presbyterian School
"We recently contracted with Steve to place a new CFO at our school. From working with us on a package that fit our needs, to answering questions and consulting throughout the process, Steve made the process smooth and easy at every step. He brought us a variety of candidates that were potential good fits for our school, and we ultimately hired one. I am delighted to recommend Steve and his team for your administrative placement needs."
