“Robert is one of the most knowledgeable, patient, passionate, and compassionate Entrepreneurs I have ever met. After about the fifth time running into one another at different networking events in the Tampa Bay Area,
Robert and I finally connected. As fellow Veteran Entrepreneurs, we immediately formed a close bond as we realized our individual pursuits are in line with each other.
With 10 Entrepreneurial Ventures under his belt and countless credit hours of higher education, Robert is one of the most skilled and credible visionaries I've ever met.”
