We would like to recognize and honor the following directors who will be retiring from Blue this year.

Allen Norvell

Years of Service – 16
Office – Lexington, Kentucky
Industry/Specialty – Audit
Proudest Moment – My proudest Blue moment was the Firm’s response during COVID caring for clients and staff.
Retirement Plans – Just catching up on projects placed on hold around the house and farm.

David Sproule

Years of Service – 6
Office – Columbus, Ohio
Industry/Specialty – Healthcare
Fun Fact - Grew up in Hawaii, played basketball against former President Barack Obama my senior year of high school (many at Blue know this). More obscure, my wife’s cousin was the lead singer for Linkin Park. That would be the late, great Chester Bennington.
Proudest Moment – My proudest Blue moment was when I was able to provide support and compassion during a director’s sudden medical leave and passing. I’m proud that my team and I were able to show the kindness and compassion that Blue prides itself on. Additionally, we were able to continue assisting our colleague's clients with all of their needs during this difficult and unfortunate time.
Retirement Plans – Travelling, going to concerts, travelling to concerts, getting my hearing checked from too many concerts.

Bob Findley

Years of Service – 10
Office – Cincinnati, Ohio
Industry/Specialty – Audit/Non-profit and HUD
Fun Fact - I was the first CPA in the U.S. to issue the AICPA’s WebTrust certificate in 1998. This certification program is no longer available in the U.S.
Proudest Moment – Assisting and watching young staff advance their careers both inside and outside of Blue.
Retirement Plans – Own my calendar! The usual: travel, play more golf, spend time with the grandkids, and assist a couple non-profits that I sit on their Boards.
