Yearly Archives: 2025

At Semper Consulting, people are at the core of everything we do, and few embody that belief more fully than Mackenzie Topinka, our In-House Recruiter. With empathy, intention, and a deep commitment to people-first leadership, Mackenzie plays a pivotal role in shaping the team and culture that fuel our success.

Forming Confidence and Leadership from the Start

Born and raised in Apopka, Florida, Mackenzie’s journey has never followed a straight line, and that’s precisely what makes her impact so powerful. After high school, she attended cosmetology school, an experience that helped her build confidence, sharpen her communication skills, and recognize how well she thrives in people-focused environments. From there, she transitioned into hospitality, working her way from hostess to server, bartender, and, eventually, store and bar manager at a local establishment in DeLand, FL. Each role strengthened her leadership abilities, emotional intelligence, and understanding of how strong teams operate.

Finding Opportunity With Semper Consulting

Mackenzie joined Semper Consulting in August 2024 as an Entry-Level Sales Representative. It quickly became clear that while sales wasn’t the right long-term fit, her potential was undeniable. Rather than letting that talent walk away, our CEO, Tyler Lozier, offered Mackenzie the opportunity to step into recruiting, an offer that would change the trajectory of her career. That moment of trust and belief ignited a passion that Mackenzie says “clicked in a way no other role ever had.”

I’ve finally found a career that aligns with my strengths and a work environment that feels more like family than just a workplace. 

Now, as Semper Consulting’s In-House Recruiter, Mackenzie is instrumental in building teams that align with the company’s values, goals, and culture. She brings a rare blend of organization and compassion to every interaction, ensuring candidates feel informed, respected, and genuinely supported throughout the hiring process. Her ability to read the room, listen deeply, and connect authentically helps us attract talent that not only performs, but also stays and grows.

Making Deeper Connections in Business

Mackenzie stands out for her empathy and people-centered approach. Rather than viewing recruiting as transactional, she is committed to guiding individuals in finding opportunities that positively impact their lives. That mindset shapes how she evaluates candidates, prioritizing ambition, adaptability, professionalism, and a strong “student mentality.” It also defines how she supports internal teams, fosters engagement, and promotes long-term retention through culture-driven hiring.

A Foundation Built on Care

Outside of work, Mackenzie’s most significant source of pride and motivation is her son, whom she proudly calls her greatest accomplishment. Being a parent has deepened her patience, perspective, and purpose; qualities she carries into her leadership style every day. As a planner by nature, she aims to achieve financial freedom, buy a home, and create meaningful experiences for her family, while continuing to grow in HR and talent acquisition over the long term.

Mackenzie’s growth at Semper Consulting reflects exactly what the company stands for: recognizing potential, investing in people, and creating space for individuals to thrive. As she continues to evolve in her role, one thing is clear: Semper Consulting’s future is stronger because Mackenzie is helping build it, one relationship at a time.

Before entrepreneurship entered the picture, Tyler Lozier’s world revolved around competition and discipline. Born in West Texas and raised in Central Maryland, his childhood dream was far from business ownership. He wanted to play shortstop for the New York Yankees! While that goal eventually changed, the mindset behind it never did. The pursuit of excellence, commitment to preparation, and respect for teamwork became themes that would shape every chapter of his life.

Those values were reinforced after high school, when Tyler decided to join the United States Marine Corps. Serving for four years as an Amphibious Assault Crewman, he deployed in 2016 and traveled to ten different countries. The experience demanded mental toughness, accountability, and the ability to perform under pressure. Time away from family, limited communication, and exposure to challenging situations forced him to mature quickly and rely on the people beside him.

One lesson from his service continues to guide him today and would later become central to how he leads in business.

“Active duty [taught me] how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. It taught me that its not about the one man but the team and to take care of each other.”

From Service to Entrepreneurship

After leaving the Marines, Tyler entered the workforce with a strong work ethic and a clear understanding of structure and leadership. What drew him to sales was simple. It was merit-based, uncapped, and rewarded effort. He saw an opportunity to build a career where results mattered more than credentials and where growth was earned, not given.

That belief eventually led him to start Semper Consulting on April 1, 2024. Just twenty days later, his life changed again with the birth of his son. The timing reinforced his motivation and sense of responsibility. Building a successful business was no longer just about personal achievement. It was about providing for his family and setting an example.

In its first year, Semper Consulting operated a multimillion-dollar business, earned Tyler recognition as Rookie Owner of the Year, and promoted an individual from within to run their own operation. Each milestone reinforced his belief in development and opportunity-driven leadership.

Leadership Through Development and Accountability

At the core of Tyler’s leadership philosophy is a deep belief in people. He considers his greatest strength the ability to train and develop others, confident that success is teachable when paired with accountability and effort.

“I firmly believe I can train anyone at what I do and make them successful.”

That belief shapes Semper Consulting’s culture. Our organization values accountability, work ethic, coachability, and a student mentality. Tyler describes our environment as supportive and close-knit, while maintaining high expectations. In his words, our team operates like a family but is built to perform like a championship organization.

His leadership style adapts to the individual. Some team members need direct guidance, while others benefit from more time and mentorship. Regardless of the approach, the goal remains the same: helping people grow into stronger professionals and more confident individuals.

Lessons Learned and the Vision Ahead

Like any entrepreneur, Tyler has faced challenges. Learning how to motivate different personalities, navigating uncertainty, and managing the emotional highs and lows of ownership have all tested him. Rather than viewing setbacks as failures, he treats them as lessons. Adversity, in his view, is part of the process and a necessary tool for growth.

Looking ahead, Tyler remains focused on building a strong, sustainable organization! His short-term goals include continued promotions and surpassing previous performance records. In the long term, he envisions consulting for a large-scale organization while continuing to provide meaningful opportunities for others.

Success, for Tyler, is measured less by numbers and more by environment. When his office is filled with energy, music, and people who feel supported and driven, he knows he is doing something right. Through discipline, leadership, and a steadfast commitment to development, Tyler Lozier continues to build a story defined not just by results but by the lives impacted along the way.
