After graduating from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania as an undergrad with a BS in Economics, Robert joined his fast growing family apparel business in NYC. He traveled extensively throughout Asia and the Middle East sourcing apparel. He also opened a Miami warehouse in the early 1990’s as the company moved their manufacturing to Central America. As his business changed and no longer needed to be in NYC, Robert and his wife moved to South Florida 1998.

After exiting his business in 2018, Robert sought out new challenges. He always loved the real estate business. Robert’s early exposure to investment real estate came through his grandfather, who purchased a NYC office building in the 1970s. Robert was elected to manage the group of three generations of family members that now own this building. Through that experience, as well as extensive private investments in other real estate assets, Robert realized that over time his best performing assets were real estate. He prefers the income, value creation, tax benefits and reduced volatility over stock market investments.

Robert joined Freedom Family Office in 2019 and is currently Wealthrive’s Partner in the Real Estate Division to assist in the growth of our direct real estate platform, www.investwithourfamily.com, as well as provide advice to Freedom Family Office and Wealthrive clients evaluating real estate investments.

Robert is a board member of HAAPE.org (Helping Adults with Autism Perform and Excel) a not for profit that helps young adults find meaningful employment. His wife, Katia, founded and runs a large behavioral health clinic and residential program in South Florida. They live in Fort Lauderdale with their three children.
