As Bob says, "After working in Television News for 36 years, you become a consumer advocate by training." "When I started Integrity Wealth Consulting, I wanted to be able to take that unique approach and apply it to financial planning. Our mission is to act as a fiduciary and always to do what is in the client's best interest." Bob has lived in every geographic region of the country and serves clients in 26 different states.

He is a recent recipient of the FIVE STAR Wealth Manager Award*, an award that he has received for the sixth year in a row. The Five Star Wealth Manager Award is a prominent award that less than 7% of all wealth managers in the state of Pennsylvania receive. The selection is the result of a rigorous research process that included a regulatory and consumer complaint review and an evaluation of objective criteria associated with wealth managers who provide quality services to their clients. FIVE STAR Wealth Manager is the largest and most widely published wealth manager award program in North America. 

Along with his continuing efforts to stay highly educated in the financial world, Bob is committed to being an active member of the community, participating in numerous charities and fundraising events. Bob believes the firm must have a commitment to the community in which it serves.

Bob has many interests outside the office, including golf, mountain biking, hiking, and horses. He loves a good pair of cowboy boots and riding the high trails in the mountains out west. Bob and his wife, Lori, have been married for over 35 years and have a shared interest in the desert southwest where they lived prior to moving to Pittsburgh. When visiting their house in Arizona, Bob serves as a steward for the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and is active in conserving the Sonoran desert.
