Before becoming a Mortgage Loan Advisor, he served in leadership and executive roles at Central Washington University in Ellensburg and has 18 years of higher education experience devoted to enriching the lives of others.
Bob has called Washington home for his entire life. Born and raised in Yakima, he has lived in Ellensburg since 2002. He and his wife, Kendra, have already achieved their dream of owning and managing investment properties in the community.
