With a global background in manufacturing, marketing, and real estate development, Robert’s journey began in 1980 with a vivid inspiration to build a shelter capable of protecting 1,000 people from a life-extinction event.

Today, Vivos is a global network capable of accommodating more than 10,000 people, ensuring that families have a safe and secure refuge in times of crisis.

Join us as we explore Robert’s incredible journey, the challenges of bringing Vivos to life, and the immense responsibility he feels in protecting others.
