About Rob

Rob is a former chiropractor with over 25 years of experience who embarked on a life-changing journey that reshaped his personal and professional priorities.

After selling his chiropractic practice, Rob and his family followed his lifelong dream to live in Southern California, but not before fulfilling his wife Kim’s request to experience life in Florence, Italy for three months.

Together with their daughter Sofia, they relished the enchanting Italian lifestyle, forming lasting memories during their stay. However, Rob remained eager to pursue the California dream, so the family relocated to the West Coast.

In California, Rob dedicated himself to building a successful new life, working tirelessly to support his family’s new lifestyle. It was during this time that Kim observed a change in him, remarking, “I liked you better in Italy.” This simple statement prompted Rob to embark on a journey of self-reflection and reevaluation of his values and goals.

Through this introspection, Rob developed a new understanding of success, deciding that “enough is enough when work doesn’t leave room for the things that are important to you.”

With this newfound perspective, Rob and his family made the decision to return to the captivating charm of Florence, Italy, where they now reside, embracing the balance between work, relationships, and happiness.
