Rob has always been very caring, and I have felt even before formally joining TEC that he has kept a special eye out for me. He worked with my father before I joined, so he knew my story. He has been supportive, open, and honest, and I appreciate the value he brings to my life.

Rob is a one of a kind. I appreciate how he pushes us “beyond our grasp.” Personally, he has helped me break through obstacles and barriers in front of me, and those just in my head to be the leader I am today. Rob is there to celebrate our successes and there for us in the toughest of times. We appreciate you Rob, more than you know! Thanks for all you do Rob to help others achieve their highest potential.

Recently, we had the privilege of working with Leo Bottary, who guided us through identifying the ideal characteristics of a TEC member. After reflecting on this, it became evident that you, Robert, embody so many of these qualities. You consistently display confidence, curiosity, accountability, intelligence, and a great sense of humor. Your open-mindedness and vulnerability make you engaging and approachable, while your people-first mindset and active listening skills allow you to connect with others in a meaningful way. You are personable, trustworthy, honest, and creative, committed to growth not only for yourself but also for those around you. Your giving nature, ability to inspire, and authenticity make you a true leader, and your empathy, humility, and discretion further enhance the impact you have on those you work with.
Robert, thank you for being who you are—an exceptional leader who instills confidence in all of us. You’ve made a profound impact on this group, both personally and professionally, and we are grateful.” – Tm, De Haan
Rob is everything you want in a mentor, he is always prepared, thoughtful, kind, and caring enough to call out your BS and push you to be better. “Sometimes early, never late” is not just how Rob shows up, but how timely he is in his advice and guidance. I’ve always felt I won the jackpot getting to be part of Rob’s group and I’m thankful for everything he does for all of us.
Warm Regards,

Rob has been a pivotal contributor to my success, consistently offering support throughout my time at TEC. His guidance has been invaluable, helping me build both my confidence and my capabilities. I couldn’t appreciate him more.
I deeply admire Rob’s resilience and his unwavering commitment to always putting in the hard work. His dedication is truly inspiring, and it’s clear that he faces every challenge with a tenacity that not only drives him forward but also motivates everyone around him. It’s a privilege to support someone who leads with such strength and heart.
