Buzz Floyd

Buzz joined Restoration Systems in 2013 as Chief Financial Officer. He grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois and spent as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors, gaining a strong appreciation for wildlife and conservation efforts. After graduating from Southern Illinois University he started his career in St. Louis, Missouri with a Fortune 500 company. There he learned the ropes of business operations and was soon assigned to North Carolina as controller for one of the company’s divisions.

The entrepreneurial itch first came when a senior executive asked him to partner in executing a leveraged buyout of the division. Buzz accepted, become CFO and a managing shareholder of the new company, and learned to fully appreciate that “happiness is a positive cash flow”. Buzz has since helped fast growth companies stay on track as both a CFO and consultant. In fact, several years ago he was hired by an investor to assess and evaluate Restoration Systems. Fast forward ten years and Buzz is lending his expertise in evaluating projects, creating joint ventures, and raising capital as the company’s CFO. He says, “I have a lot of respect for the passion of the team members here and their knowledge in the areas of the environment and mitigation banking. There’s a lot of gratification in what we’re doing. It’s fun to do good things for the environment and our team does it right.” Over the years that Buzz has been with RS, he has developed a strong knowledge base and understanding of the mitigation business sector, particularly in North Carolina but also Louisiana, Texas, and Virginia.

Buzz’s certifications include CPA (Certified Public Accountant), PMP (Project Management Professional), and Lean Six Sigma (Level: Black Belt). He is a long time resident of Chapel Hill, NC with his wife Tina, three children and his trusted hound, Knox. Buzz pursues many outdoor activities and counts tennis and fishing among his favorites.
