Personal bio from Robert Mora:

“I was born in Ecuador to an amazing family who sold everything and moved our family to Ohio to find the American Dream. It still happens!

I graduated from OSU with a BS in Industrial Design and have been working (It’s hard to call it work when I love what I do) in this field for over 20 years. Giving breath to an idea and fostering that to fruition with a focused team drives my passion in my professional life. Being fortunate to see my ideas developed and produced in a team environment has kept me inspired in this field that I love.

My goal is to contribute to creating an environment that promotes world-class innovation and ultimately delivering solutions that work through outstanding project management.:
