GoPoint
Tim Smith, Owner
My passion for making things a little better or a little stronger than what they were before, can be traced back to my earliest days. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t enjoy a challenge. From school, to sports, government, business and to family, it’s important to be fearless, adaptive, optimistic and transparent. By nature I find inspiration in leading organizations that improve the way we work or live. As CEO of A.F. Smith and now partner in goPoint, discovering ways to help our customers be more successful is exciting. When not working – when aren’t I?—I’m a dogs best friend, traveling, watching a Netflix drama, reading a book or dancing to soft rock.
