Experience

Born and raised in New York City and educated in VA, Bob's combination of competitiveness and congeniality uniquely suits him to a profession in real estate. Recruited from college for a coveted CPA position with Arthur Anderson, Bob subsequently attained the position of Chief Financial Officer at a public technology company, working closely with the federal government in Washington, DC. His proximity to the coast led to his love of life at the beach. An avid beach volleyball player and fisherman, Bob undertook a two year search for his "little slice of heaven" in Florida. After sampling life in numerous coastal communities he determined that Siesta Key was perfect. The climate, the beach, the amenities, and the people make this his ideal place to live. His love for this community, combined with his experience as a successful advisor and businessman led to his current career in real estate.

Bob's favorite aspects of his job are the search for the right property at the right price, the negotiation, and the advising of friends, associates, and clients on a variety of real estate issues, particularly as they relate to their overall financial goals.
