Numbers and statistics are Rob's business. He funnels through the thousands of financial products in the marketplace, analyzing the information in a way that's personal for Capital Advisors' clients. From looking at the short- and long-term data to meeting with fund managers, his insight helps the firm narrow in on the right products for client portfolios.

"Educate and educate some more," is Rob's go-to motto when helping clients gain confidence in their decisions. He strives to provide all the knowledge he can about a recommendation, especially the "what" and the "why" behind an investment.

Rob is a born and bred Clevelander with a true love for the city he calls home. As an Indian's season ticket holder, he appreciates not only the sights and sounds of the game – but also the analytics behind it; how a team with limited financial resources can successfully deliver a winning season. The underdog story is one he loves to tell.
