Bob Gearhart Sr.
DCW Group
Bob grew up in Austintown and graduated from The University of Akron with a bachelor’s degree in industrial management and a minor in personnel.
Before joining DCW Group in 2006, Bob spent over 20 years on the insurance carrier and banking side of the industry. He was instrumental in building and managing three of the largest bank owned insurance agencies in the country and is a nationally recognized speaker on bank insurance product distribution.
Grateful for an amazing wife of 32 years, and two sons, Bob Jr. and Michael, Bob enjoys taking in the sunsets over Evans Lake with Debbie at their home in Poland.
