Robert FischbachRobert "Bob" Fischbach was raised in New York, went to college in Cincinnati, and eventually resettled in Atlanta, Georgia where he lives today with his family. While growing up in Long Island, Bob considered his dad to be his best friend. Notes Fiscbach, "My father taught me many important lessons: work hard, possess toughness, be ethical, honest and fair. But it was the one lesson he didn't even realize he was teaching me that had the greatest impact-never be afraid to take a risk. My father felt that, in those days, he didn't have the luxury of taking risks. So, when I became an adult, I took some for both of us." The author earned his B.S. in Community Planning from the University of Cincinnati Design, Art, Architecture & Planning College. After college, he entered the real estate business, first as an employee. It wasn't long before his entrepreneurial spirit led him to go out on his own. He held a real estate broker's license from Ohio, was a Certified Property Manager, and helmed his own real estate syndication, management and development company for over thirty years. He previously served on the boards of the Atlanta Jewish Federation, Atlanta Jewish Academy and The Atlanta Apartment Association. "I devoted myself to caring for Janie and kept my promise to never put her in a facility. I am finally allowing myself to live, love, and thrive again. My life is all about family, both Michele's and mine," notes Bob. When he is not spending time with his family-second wife, Michele, sons Drew and Scott, daughters-in-law Nina and Jaime, grandsons Max and Devon, and granddaughter Olivia-Bob can usually be found on the golf course. And every year, he and his wife make a point of checking off travel destinations from his bucket list of places to visit. Read More Read Less
