About Robert

I am originally from Chicago. I am an avid sports fan and love the Cubs, Blackhawks and of course my Jayhawks. I wanted to expand my horizons after high school and decided to leave the state of Illinois and attend the University of Kansas.  After college I joined the banking world for about 5 years then left and took a financial job for about 2-3 years. I decided to join Lionsgate Golf Club due to my passion for golf. If I am not with my wife or dog during my free time, you will find me at the range working on my laughable slice or playing a round of golf.
