Hi, I'm Robbie.

I build products
that protect
business owners.

As a founder, you've worked too hard for your family, business, assets, and income to be placed in harm’s way.

We should all strive to create something that frees others from anxiety, frustration, and pain.

What shaped my point of view

We should all strive to create something that frees others from anxiety, frustration, and pain.

  1. I am not:

    An attorney, CPA, financial advisor, or insurance broker.

  2. But I am:

    A business owner, just like you, and I'm so lucky to have built my career on serving other founders.

  3. Up to this point:

    I've started and sold 5 companies, served alongside my heroes, and learned many difficult lessons.

  4. Along the way:

    I wrote a few books and somehow ended up getting published.

    • The Private Practice MBA (2023)
    • How To Be Everywhere (2025)
    • Family. Business. Assets. Income. (2026)
  5. Today, I focus on:

    Running two companies that help local business leaders protect what they care about: Atlas Visibility and FounderGuard.

Become the local business that Google & ChatGPT trust.

Atlas teaches the new AI algorithms to recommend you when people are searching for the help you provide.Atlas teaches the new AI-based algorithms to recommend you

FounderGuard

One plan to protect your family, business, assets and income.

FounderGuard is a centralized platform, providing business owners everything they need to close the exposure gaps of their most important responsibilities.

My Backstory

The story so far.

Disclaimer: This is definitely the most boring part of this entire site.

  1. The Early Days

    Childhood

    Hitting the family jackpot.

    As a fourth-generation entrepreneur, I'm so grateful to have been born into a family of self-made do'ers.

  2. First Legitimate Business

    High School

    Catching the bug.

    In high school, I started my first actual business. A buy-and-flip eBay store where I drop shipped before that was even a thing.

    By the time I turned 20, I'd started and sold three businesses.

  3. The Band Years

    My Teens

    Learning to lead.

    After high school, I joined a band called Day After Day. We treated the band like a business and got to see a ton of the U.S. together.

    This is where I began learning to see my blindspots as a leader. Painful, but important lessons.

  4. The Dave Ramsey Years

    My Twenties

    Stretching my wings.

    Honored to have been hand-selected by Dave and the Board of Directors to oversee the organization's flagship product line: Financial Peace University.

  5. The Agency Years

    My Thirties

    Going national.

    After spending a decade at Dave's, I moved to Raleigh, NC to lead the strategic transformation of a small private practice into a nationally sought-out brand, including the creation of a full-service in-house agency.

  6. Authoring

    Book After Book

    Getting published.

    Somehow I ended up writing a book that got distributed by Simon and Schuster. Then another, and then another.

  7. PRESENT DAY

    Early Forties

    Launching Atlas.

    When AI search hit the marketing agency I own, our team built the system that became Atlas. Now it helps established local businesses stay understood, trusted, and visible.

  8. The current chapter

    Mid-Forties

    Embracing my passion.

    Today, I get to spend the majority of my time helping other business leaders protecting what they've built from the unexpected crisis.
