Joe
DeGroot
Director of Accounting
Joe has six kids ranging in age from 18-31. He also has two grandchildren that call him Popps because he too young to be called Grandpa.
Joe has lived in Monona for 32 years but grew up in the Green Bay area.
Joe was born in New Jersey and still has family there. He spends a week every August on Long Beach Island and he does four day weekends in New York City and New Jersey a few times a year.
Joe has been a CPA for thirty-five years.
Joe’s favorite quote is “It is, what it is.” It helps explain things that don’t make sense or are illogical. Life is too short to seat the little things.
Joe’s personal motto is “work hard and play hard.”
Joe’s hobbies are working out pretty much every day, watching sports, and on the weekends in the summer, out by his pool with family and friends. He also enjoys hunting in the fall.
Joe’s first interaction with Spaulding Group was a few years ago when Spaulding bought all the properties owned by one of my clients, Midland Builders. CJ, Spaulding Group’s COO, had worked with Joe some time ago at Hovde. CJ contacted Joe about the opportunity of a Director of Accounting at Spaulding Group and the rest is history.
