Robert Illenberg III- Originally from New York, my wife Vicki and I relocated to Florida over 11 years ago. I take pride in being a father to 4 sons and a grandfather to 5 grandchildren. In 2015, I started RPI Kitchen and Bath, where I serve as the Owner and Designer. Having served as a dedicated firefighter of Middletown, New York , I transitioned my focus to indulge in my passion for design. I studied architecture from college which sparked my interest. I bring over 30 years of experience helping builders and homeowners select and design their kitchens and bathrooms in Charlotte and Lee County. On my downtime I find joy in watching sports and cherishing moments with my loved ones.
