# **Partner Spotlight: Billy Robinson**

Billy joined the BE team in 2003 and serves as the firm’s construction practice leader out of the Kingsport, TN office.

 

**We interviewed Billy to really get to know him, outside of his profession, and we were surprised to learn that Billy pulls from his blue-collar upbringing, as the son of a coal miner (a dangerous and difficult job), when working with clients in the construction industry.****Where are you from and where did you grow up?**

I grew up in Southwest Virginia in Dickenson County near a small, old mining town named Clinchco.

 

## **What are some of your hobbies?**

I enjoy home remodeling projects, riding motorcycles, spending time on the lake, hunting, golfing with my son, and traveling just about anywhere.

 

## **What do you consider your best quality or trait?**

I think my best quality would be my passion for serving clients. I enjoy the business of public accounting and being able to help companies be successful.

 

## **What is the best advice you ever received, and from who?**

Early in my career, someone told me to focus on becoming an expert in something and that is how I would add real value to the firm and the clients that I served.

 

## **If you could be a superhero what would be your superpower?**

That's an easy one - the ability to fly! I put many miles on my truck each year traveling and serving clients. Being able to get somewhere in a flash would be amazing!

 

## **What famous figure (living or dead) would you most like to meet and why?**

I think Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt both had to make some very difficult decisions for the betterment of their countries and hearing about their experiences first-hand, rather than through a textbook, would be fascinating!

## **What do you think is your biggest contribution to the Brown Edwards team?**

I hope my biggest contribution is the impact I have made on others. Whether it be clients and their businesses or my teammates and their careers. I hope that I have, and continue to be, a positive influence on them.
