“Tatum Ranch is an ideal place to live. My wife, Kathleen and I both love the life-style that Arizona offers. I believe that creating a sense of community for Tatum Ranch, and fostering that Arizona life-style for our members is important. Not only to help bring our community together, but also to create a Tatum Ranch identity that increases the property values of our homes.”

“That’s why I have spearheaded all of our monthly functions for 2024. For 2025 I’d like to expand our events to go outside of our Community Center since we are limited in the number of people who can attend; and we have sold out almost every event this year. I volunteer for all of our events to get to meet the people in this great community. So far, I’ve met some pretty terrific friends and neighbors.”

Robert’s outside interests include studying music, playing the piano, & volunteering for SCORE where he mentors small business owners. He is also a member of the Lions Club.
