Bio
Hey, I’m Bob. My title says I’m CEO of Embark Financial Partners, but that’s kind of new. Here’s how I got here: I was born & raised in the State of Washington. After graduating from the University of Washington in 1990, I was commissioned as an officer in the US Navy. The Navy took me to Florida, California, Japan for 3 years, and I finished my time in the Navy in Washington DC. In DC, I finished a graduate degree from The George Washington University, but more importantly met a law student named Heather clerking for the summer at the Department of Justice. Married her. I definitely outkicked my coverage.
Heather and I started our life together in Kansas City – Heather as a Lawyer, me as a wealth advisor. We were in KC for 9 years and were blessed with our kids Ben and Cate, some great memories, and even greater friends. In 2006, we moved to Michigan. Initially, I balanced managing a dozen advisors and continuing to work with my own clients. After 8 years, our family had the opportunity to spend a couple of years in New York City – it was a great adventure. We moved back to Michigan, and I started building a team of advisors and staff. That was the beginning of Embark Financial Partners. I enjoy being involved on different Boards in my community, traveling, reading, spending time with my family, cooking, golfing and scuba diving. Thanks for reading this; we are looking forward to meeting you!

I was born and raised in Muskegon and am a Mona Shores Graduate. After graduation, I attended Baker College and was in the first graduating class to earn my degree in Radiologic Technology. I worked for Hackley Hospital for 10 years, helping people in the Emergency Department. In 2011, I shifted from helping people with their physical health to financial wellness. I am now a licensed financial advisor who looks forward to making an impact on people’s lives through growing relationships, committed teamwork and guidance to help one pursue their individual goals.
In my free time, I enjoy being a mom to my fur baby Bruno, traveling, wine, and spending time with family and friends.

Hey – I’m Christian, Wealth Advisor at Embark Financial Partners. I have worked in financial services for 6 years and directly with clients as a wealth advisor for 3 years. I strive to meet and serve people where they are at in life financially and walk with them to realize their goals. It is my hope to make a positive impact that allows people to feel confident and maximize their purpose with all their resources.
I grew up in Kansas City and have a bachelors and masters degree from Southwest Baptist University. While at Southwest Baptist, I played college baseball, formed my closest friends to this day, and most importantly met a beautiful girl named Kinsey. After Kinsey and I married in 2019, we moved to Overland Park where we launched our careers and started our life together.
Kinsey and I now reside in Olathe, KS with our son, Brooks, and Australian Shepherd, Binnington. When I am not chasing Brooks and Binnington around, I enjoy staying involved with our local church and community, spending time with my family and friends, traveling, reading, exercising, hosting people, and watching sports.
