God called Robert to be a businessman.  When at age 29 Robert became a Christian, he asked God what he should do now.  God’s clear call was to continue in his business career as Vice President and later COO of a large regional retail company with 650 retail outlets and three thousand employees.

Later while serving as President of another significant retail chain, Robert spearheaded a TQM initiative for his organization that led to huge reductions in expenses and employee turnover.  Company size and sales more than doubled in less than ten years.  Along the way, Robert received specialized training as a facilitator to enhance the performance and teamwork among his management staff.  The team’s resulting heightened effectiveness later enabled the business to later be sold for a record amount.

In 2000, Robert co-founded Share and Compare, a CEO peer group facilitation company engaging a network of 150 retail and distribution companies who participate in regular financial benchmarking and best practices sharing meetings and conferences.

At a critical juncture in the life of his church, Robert was called by God to leave his business career and to serve for five years as Executive Pastor of his church.  Robert joined C12 in 2006 as Area Chair for Eastern NC.  His unique blend of work experiences and his journey of faith provide him a framework to encourage and support Christian business owners as they run their businesses for Christ.

Robert and his high school sweetheart, Janet, have been married 42 years and have two daughters and four grandchildren. Robert attended East Carolina University.
