Robert brings over 42 years of experience in business banking to his role. As a California State Certified General Appraiser, Robert specializes in agricultural lending and appraisal, making him a great resource for members looking to grow their businesses. With more than three decades at Farm Credit and running his own agricultural appraisal business, he truly understands the needs of the farming community.

What Robert loves most about working at CoastHills is the chance to help members achieve their goals. His passion for supporting the agricultural community shines through in every interaction, and he cherishes the memorable moments he shares with clients.

Outside of work, Robert enjoys long walks on the beach and traveling with his wife. They also have a beloved 7-year-old rescued Sheltie named Tesla, who happily accompanies them on their adventures.

Robert believes in being there for his members whenever they need support, a philosophy that has guided him throughout his career. His connection to the agricultural community, sparked by his Agribusiness degree from Fresno State, fuels his dedication to helping local businesses thrive. Having moved to Arroyo Grande in 2010, Robert and his wife appreciate the beauty and warmth of the Central Coast, where they enjoy being part of a close-knit community. He also gives back by mentoring younger members of the agricultural community through his involvement in local fairs, further strengthening those important connections.
