Follow Rob and Vintage ReNew on Instagram @robjfoley

Rob Foley has been married to his wife Leah for 17 years and the two have three children. They moved from Denver, CO to Spooner, WI in 2022. Rob has a master's degree in Theology (Beeson Divinity School at Samford Univ.), and spent 15 years working in non-profit and higher education administration, most recently as the Dean of Students at Denver Seminary. In that role, he led the Department of Student Life and was a primary touchpoint for students in crises and those seeking consultation on matters related to spiritual development, vocational conceptualization, academic success, and life skills.

In late 2019, he became his family's primary at-home parent and an entrepreneur, launching a vintage furniture restoration business that he’s slowly formalized under the name Vintage ReNew. This winter, Rob added artisanal charcuterie/serving boards to the mix. He is currently working toward a Master's in Organizational Leadership (Creighton University), which rounds out his trifecta of deep interests: humanity, theology, and leadership. He is fascinated by how people operate and loves being a catalyst for deepening purpose and meaning in both individuals and groups.

Fun fact: Rob finds TicTacs (especially the Strawberry & Cream and Tropical Adventure flavors) and almost any kind of mint gum irresistible.
