Introducing:
   Kevin Aufman

This is the unconventional digital
biography of an unconventional
       corporate accountant.
I¡¯m an internal auditor.




    Sounds boring but¡­¡­.
I build the future through an
    honest assessment of
     business structures,
   processes and controls.
I diagnose problems and
have a vision for continuous
       improvement.
When I said I like
to build the future,
 I wasn¡¯t kidding!

 I build a lot of
     things.
A Dock¡­




A Barrel ¸é²¹´Ú³Ù¡­
Old
             Trucks¡­.




Old Cars¡­.
A
          Trebuchet¡­.




 Neat
Tools¡­.
A Garage¡­.
And a LOT of
 other stuff!
I come from a diverse
  professional and personal
         background.

 These experiences allow
   me to visualize and
diagnose problems and to
  recommend workable
        solutions.
A little about that diverse background:




I started out as a mechanic working on
 Tractor Trailers and heavy machinery.
I mowed a lot of grass and
     fixed a lot of lawn
 equipment along the way.
I spent some time as a Mechanical
Engineer at Kettering University in
          Flint, Michigan.
Due to my professional and
  personal background, I
 speak fluent Engineer ¨C
   unique among most
       accountants.
I changed course, came home, and received a BS in
Business Administration ¨C specializing in Finance - from
             the University of Pittsburgh.
I minored in History. I have a lot of appreciation for
understanding how we got where we are! I am a closet
 history geek, usually reading 2-3 history related books
  monthly. Understanding past cultural, economic and
political themes can help to predict how businesses will
               be impacted in the present.
Insurance           Banking           Heavy
                                       Manufacturing

     While at the University of Pittsburgh, I held three
  accounting related internships. These were unique in
terms of industry and professional roles and exposed me
   to a variety of experiences, problems, industries and
                          systems.
For the past five years, I¡¯ve worked for Westinghouse
Electric Company, the largest provider of Nuclear Power
               Plant Services in the world.
I¡¯ve held three very distinct roles within the business:

                 Project Accounting
              Manufacturing Accounting
                  Internal Auditing

Each position has taught me a new set of skills to add to
 my personal toolbox. My ability to speak intelligently to
 Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Operations,
  Project Management and Quality is largely due to my
   wide range of responsibilities and unique personal
                     background.
One of my core principles is to NEVER STOP
                    LEARNING.

  I¡¯m currently working on my Masters of Business
Administration through the University of Massachusetts.

  I¡¯m also working to obtain my Certified Internal Audit
                      (CIA) license.

I¡¯m an active member of the Institute of Internal Auditors.
Speaking of the NEVER STOP LEARNING mantra:
  I¡¯m a father of a six month old son. I honestly have no
idea how to raise a child, but I¡¯m learning something new
  everyday through child-father training, advise from my
  family and the patient and knowing words of my lovely
                            wife.
In order to keep myself and others informed of current
  events, I read, analyze, collect and share links and
  articles I find throughout the internet and traditional
paperback world. This information helps to assess how
  current economic, political and cultural changes will
impact the business world, the energy industry and the
                   accounting profession.
