Transitioning from military to civilian life comes with more than a change of uniform; it often leaves veterans searching for jobs, looking for purpose, or trying to redefine their lives after service. Although veterans bring strong leadership and discipline to the table, they often encounter significant challenges in securing meaningful employment or launching their own ventures. Steve Trimborn knows this experience firsthand.
When Steve Trimborn hung up his Army uniform after six years of military service, his mission to serve others did not end; it simply evolved. In March 2025, Steve and his wife, Tina, embarked on a new mission with the grand opening of AtWork Tampa East. Bringing with them decades of professional experience, a strong commitment to community and a passion for helping others succeed, the Trimborns are now using their staffing agency to make a lasting impact.
Having experienced the transition from military to civilian life himself, Steve understands the unique challenges veterans and other job-seekers face. That is why he and Tina have made it their mission to welcome individuals, especially veterans, from the Tampa community and help them find meaningful, well-matched career opportunities.
“As a veteran, I understand firsthand the challenges service members face when transitioning to civilian careers, especially those who have been out of the service for years or even decades, and I am committed to helping them find meaningful employment that utilizes their valuable skills and experience. For us, AtWork is much more than a business but rather a means to continue giving back to the place we love—because when you connect talented individuals with the right companies, the entire community thrives.”
AtWork Tampa East is one of the latest additions to AtWork’s award-winning national staffing franchise network of more than 100 locations. With a mission to connect people with jobs and jobs with people, AtWork has been empowering job seekers and supporting businesses across the country for more than three decades. Every year, AtWork puts nearly 40,000 individuals to work in administrative, light-industrial, accounting and finance, hospitality, IT and management-level positions at some of the nation’s largest and most recognizable companies. Now, under the Trimborns’ leadership, AtWork Tampa East is ready to uphold that legacy and establish itself as an essential resource for local job seekers and businesses alike.
The Trimborns have deep roots in the Tampa community, as Tina’s father was an original member of the Brandon Area Youth Soccer League, founded locally in the 1970s. For them, the success of their new AtWork location goes beyond career placement, it is about giving back to the community they have loved and called home for decades, one connection at a time.
“This community is deeply woven into the fabric of our lives,” said Tina. “I grew up in Brandon, moved back 20 years ago, raised our children here, now work at the local hospital and have coached young athletes in soccer for years, including a five-year stint at the local high school. I have seen firsthand how important it is to nurture both people and opportunities.”
Tina added, “My husband’s dedication to service—both in the military and through his volunteer work—has been an incredible example of leadership in action, and I am eager to watch that come to life through the support we will provide at AtWork.”
Beyond owning AtWork Tampa East, the couple has spent more than two decades investing in the community through volunteer work and active involvement in several local organizations, including the West Point Society, The American Legion, the Annual Tampa Bay Frogman Swim benefiting the Navy SEAL Foundation and more. Their shared dedication to helping local community members comes from a place of understanding and compassion for those looking for careers beyond the military.
“Beyond business, giving back is at the heart of everything we do,” Steve said. “Our backgrounds in healthcare and the military have opened our eyes to the need for career coaching and staffing support that caters to the people and organizations around us, like our incredible hospital systems, MacDill Air Force Base and beyond.”
As AtWork Tampa East continues to grow and establish itself as a beacon of opportunity, the Trimborns remain committed to uplifting their community, supporting veterans and helping job seekers find meaningful careers. By offering compassionate, personalized staffing services and partnering with local businesses to find the right talent, AtWork Tampa East is more than just a staffing agency—it is a place where people are recognized and valued for their skills and potential.
