Robert Blasingame

CEO, co-owner

Robert Blasingame’s true passion in life is to help others. His obsession with numbers drove him to a career in financial analysis, which has allowed him to continue to pursue this passion. While many focus on the bottom line, Robert always remembers the names and faces behind the numbers and finds unique solutions to difficult problems that will give the best all around results. In life and business, Robert never goes a day without brightening someone else’s. He recognized early on the advantages of social media tools like Twitter and Facebook and has used them to his advantage to exponentially grow the number of people that he is able to help out and learn from. Robert pours one hundred percent of himself into every project and doesn’t consider the job finished until everyone is completely satisfied.
