Robert was born and raised in South Florida, with roots spanning from Miami Beach to Fort Lauderdale. He began his career in the boat rental business just two blocks from Autograph Yacht Group’s Las Olas office, where he developed an early passion for boating and client service.
From there, Robert expanded his experience internationally, working throughout Europe as a deckhand, mate, and eventually captain on private and charter yachts up to 150 feet. He later returned to Miami to serve as Vice President of Operations at Cigarette Racing Team, where he contributed to new model development both locally and in Italy, and helped organize high-profile poker runs in markets like New York and Los Angeles.
In 2000, Robert transitioned into yacht brokerage, where he has since built a successful career representing buyers and sellers while also overseeing new construction projects. His hands-on background and global experience allow him to guide clients with precision, particularly those with discerning tastes and specific requirements.
