His passion to help people improve their lives through sound financial planning crosses
over into the community which he fervently serves. Robin has been a Rotarian for more
than 25 years, having served in various capacities including being honored as past-president

education is very important to Robin, leading to his time spent as chairman of the
Atlantic Shores Christian School Board and serving on the Alumni Board of Oral Roberts
University. Robin received his Bachelor of Science degree from ORU in 1981, and then
entered the financial planning profession after receiving an MBA with a concentration
in finance from The University of Houston. While attending ORU, he met his future
wife Cathy (Climpson, class of 1982), who is today a passionate educator teaching
science. Robin and Cathy’s enthusiasm for ORU was passed on to their children, three
of whom followed in their footsteps also attending ORU (Andrew, class of 2010; Courtnay,
class of 2011; and Victoria, who went on to graduate from Old Dominion University
in 2017. Their youngest son, Philip, is a 2014 graduate of Southeastern University
where he was recruited to play soccer.) Together they enjoy making time spent with
family a priority. They often gather for ski trips in Steamboat, CO, or travel through
Europe, where Robin has completed three cross-country cycling tours. Robin and Cathy
currently attend Riverbend Church in Suffolk, VA, where they continue to actively
serve and support the community they love.
