Founder

Stephen Jones has spent his entire career helping others find their optimal path to success.  First as a Naval Officer aboard ship, in the financial services arena, and as a recruiter and coach, he has believed that the clients needs are paramount.  Ensuring the right job match - that an individual's life goals match the companies goals and culture is the driving factor.  Steve is a graduate of the University of Illinois where he was a scholarship student in the Navy ROTC Program.  He has also completed his MBA and holds an advanced degree in Strategy and Policy from the Naval War College.  Steve also serves on the Board of Directors for Close2MyArt Cycling, a non-profit program that provides kids the fundamentals for bike based training and racing in a healthy and fun environment.  He can be contacted directly at steve@curtisbuckassociates.com

Peter Mooren brings another level of experience to the firm.  He earned a Systems Engineering degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point, after which he spent 5 years as an Army Officer serving in various leadership roles.  He then spent a year in real estate prior to embarking upon his current career path in the Executive Search and Solutions services arena.  Pete has gained valuable experience in both candidate recruitment and servicing client needs over his nearly 6 years in the industry.  He fully understands that the clients’ needs and culture are the key drivers in any executive search, and effectively balances these with the critical component of candidate coaching throughout their career search.  He can be contacted directly at pete@curtisbuckassociates.com, and can also be found at www.linkedin.com/in/petemooren
