Stonebridge Partners HR

Stonebridge Partners is a small business built to serve small businesses. Our focus is simple — provide smarter, fairer solutions for benefits, staffing, and payroll, while keeping people and relationships at the center of everything we do. We understand the challenges owners face because we face them too — and that’s exactly why we care a little more, respond a little faster, and always put integrity before profit.

CEO Stonebridge Partners. Simple guidance for complex humans.

After two decades in big and small business — managing billions, scaling startups, and chasing someone else’s definition of success — I realized what was missing: purpose.

In 2019, I co-founded Stonebridge Partners to do things differently. We help small businesses cut through the noise of overpriced benefits, complex payroll systems, and the staffing chaos that never seems to end.

Our mission is simple:
Build real partnerships. Craft smarter solutions. Keep business human.

Because at Stonebridge, we believe small businesses deserve big-league support — without the big-business nonsense.

I share what we’re learning (and unlearning) here on LinkedIn — join me, and let’s build something better together.

I am only a DM away. And you are inching closer to better services from someone who knows and understands the challenges of small business.
