  Jul 21, 20261h 1m

  Growing up as a pastor’s kid in Grand Junction, Colorado, Chris West learned early on that leadership is not about directing others, but about serving them.

Join us as Chris details his unique path, from his initial aspirations of becoming an archaeologist to his 30-year tenure at DWC CPAs. We discuss how his father’s influence shaped his commitment to listening, extending trust, and allowing himself to be influenced by those he leads.
