He then went on to become the CEO of a regional gas utility in southern Michigan. Robert's father also became successful, both as a partner at a regional brokerage firm and later as CEO of the same gas utility. Both men knew the importance of honesty, trust, and responsibility, values that have guided Robert's life both personally and professionally.
