Favorite thing about working at CBB...
I suppose it’s a sign you’re getting old when you realize this, but my favorite thing about working at CBB is the friends you make while doing the work you love. It’s not only the friends at CBB, but also those at the City of St. Louis, other firms, public agencies, municipalities, contractors, and vendors that you work with through the years. Fun times, great stories. Our tagline for CBB was one of the easiest things to come up with as it’s simply what we have always been, “Expert. Trusted Advisor. Friend.”
