Together they have three children – Maggie (22), Bobby (21), and Libby (18), as well as a golden retriever named Banks. Bob is proud to say that family is the most important part of his life! He enjoyed coaching his kids’ teams and attending all their activities as they were growing up.

Bob leads our Newport News branch as Branch Manager and has been a Loan Originator for 15 years. He is also a founder and partner of Crab Shack on the James and James River Fishing Pier. In his free time, he enjoys fishing, skiing, golfing, hunting, attending live concerts, and cooking with his wife. “I truly love working with my clients and helping them make their homeownership dream a reality through honesty and integrity. Many of my first-time homebuyers in the past have purchased several homes through the years. I have enjoyed watching their family and careers grow. I am honored they have entrusted me to guide them through the biggest investment of their life.
