Although Bob has been a Christian most of his life, he will tell you that his faith and relationship with God didn’t start to mature until 1. He became a father, 2. He started being discipled, 3. He started serving.

Bob is passionate about stirring the hearts of men to be better husbands, fathers, and leaders in their communities by encouraging them to build their personal relationships with Jesus and use the platform God has given them to share the Gospel. Bob served in the USAF and currently helps people buy and sell homes in Central Florida.

Favorite verse is: “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7 ESV)
