On May 14, residents, clients, team members, business partners, friends, and family members gathered at Edgewater to celebrate Rob’s remarkable impact, reflect on WesleyLife’s growth, and offer gratitude for the thousands of lives touched by his vision, mentorship, and mission-driven service.

Rob will retire as president and CEO on June 1 and will continue to support WesleyLife as senior advisor.
