Rob is a lifelong resident of Willistown Township, Chester County, PA. Rob, his wife and two children live in close proximity to his family’s farm, one of many farms in the area with conservation easements protecting its natural and scenic resources. Growing up in a rural atmosphere, Rob rode horses with the Radnor Hunt, explored the fields and streams of the countryside and developed a love for and appreciation of the benefits of open space. Rob is knowledgeable of the successful role conservation easements have had to protect open space in Willistown Township and Chester County.

Rob attended The Shipley School in Bryn Mawr, PA, and then Hobart College in Geneva, NY, where he graduated with a degree in Art History. The draw of the countryside brought Rob back to Willistown. In addition to Rob’s real estate endeavors Rob has extensive experience in the insurance industry specializing in “personal lines”, which often helps real estate clients with obtaining the appropriate homeowner’s insurance for their new houses.
