Q&A with Bobby:

What is your best networking tip?
Don’t network to sell, network to solve. The best relationships I’ve built came from understanding someone’s challenges first and then figuring out how I can add value. If you lead with curiosity and consistency, the business will follow. People remember how you show up, not just what you pitch.

What would people be surprised to learn about you?
Most people know me as a sales professional, but what they may not realize is how much I genuinely enjoy being in the field, walking job sites, collaborating with contractors, and helping bring projects to life. I’m not just about closing deals, I’m about building something tangible with partners.

 If you had an extra hour in the day, what would you do with it?
I’d invest it in personal growth, whether that’s reading, mentoring someone coming up in the industry, or strengthening my network. That extra hour compounds over time, and I’m always looking for ways to sharpen both professionally and personally.

What is your favorite place you have traveled to?
Palm Beach, Florida stands out, not just for the location, but for the experience. It’s one of those places where you can step back, reflect, and reset while still being surrounded by high-level conversations and opportunities. The right environment can really elevate your mindset.

It’s Sunday at 10 AM. Where are you?
Either spending quality time with family or planning out the week ahead. Sundays are all about balance, resetting mentally, getting organized, and making sure I’m ready to hit the ground running come Monday.
