About Robert
I grew up in Carver, MN, but have spent the majority of my adult life in Minneapolis. I studied Communications at St Cloud State University, where I wrote for the University Chronicle and served on the Special Events Committee of the University Program Board.
My career path started in the service industries, working front lines for retailers Express, Macy’s, and Crate & Barrel, and later waiting tables at local restaurants like Lucia’s Wine Bar, Hell’s Kitchen, and French Meadow. Curating an overall experience is my bread and butter. I enjoyed the flexibility of restaurant work, and I was good at it. As I neared my 40s, I was ready for a change, and my passion for health & exercise met my sales skill set in an account management position with fitness giant Life Time.
I value diversity and tenacity in my personal and social circles, so it only made sense for that sentiment to eventually trickle over into my professional life as well. Following the somewhat later-in-life purchase of my first home, I decided to broaden my potential by getting my real estate license. My mission is to work with all types of buyers and sellers, but particularly to leverage those in otherwise underrepresented sectors who, like me, may have had a sordid past with credit or financial stability and to assist them in turning the dream of homeownership and personal wealth into a reality.
In my free time, I enjoy indoor cycling and barbell strength training classes, outdoor bike rides, vintage and antique shopping, and stand-up comedy. I love my new North Minneapolis neighborhood, home, and three cats. And I am more likely to belt out a karaoke song in front of a room full of people or do the “Single Ladies” dance than I would be to make a toast or a professional speech - although I can do that, too - and have - in my role as Board Member for The Bridge for Youth.
The discovery piece of any sale or lease is my favorite, and I look forward to learning more about you and helping you with your first (or next) real estate venture!
