Son of a factory worker and a legal secretary, Bob learned the value of hard work and initiative early in life. His first paying job was setting bowling pins in a basement of a church bowling alley for three dollars a night where Bob’s inner strength was humbly rooted early on in the simple but powerful words of Abraham Lincoln who said “Whatever you are, be a good one” that has since been Bob‟s guiding force and life philosophy.

In 1990, Bob launched his financial services career with Mass Mutual. Yet it was only a matter a time before he founded Integrated Benefits Corporation (IBC), a full-service financial services boutique for individuals, families, and small businesses which eventually merged into First Financial Group (FFG) continuing to provide financial planning, insurance and retirement benefits for over 1000 clients nationwide.

Nationally recognized in the field of insurance and benefits, Bob is a highly sought-after speaker at hospitals and leading academic institutions on a variety of topics. Over the years, his presentations rooted in empowering those with effective methods of communicating for success has grown to include all industries with his powerful “Communicating To Win” platform placing him in the media spotlight.

Bob‟s message of inspiration, motivation and empowerment has reached a diverse list of prominent institutions such as Johns Hopkins University Hospital, PNC Bank and the Boy Scouts of America as well as sharing the stage with New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Dr. Ben Carson as the Master of Ceremonies and face of the Small Business Survival Summit in Baltimore.

Active in the community, Bob serves as a trustee on the Maryland Academy of Family Physicians Foundation Board and is a board member for University of Maryland Hospital for Children Board of Visitors. He founded the ‘Coalition for a Better Baltimore’ and served as an advisor during Baltimore’s 2007 Mayoral election. Bob is also a member of the Economic Development Committee for the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore and the Land Use Committee for the Roland Park Civic League.
