Rob Marona

Life’s a beach when you’re Upwards’ new Director of Real Estate, because Rob is not only a native of Myrtle Beach, SC, but his two lifelong loves are real estate and hospitality. Now charged with hunting down the coolest, most unique new locations across the country, he promises he won’t stop until we bring our incredible brands to communities across America. Why he’d even bare-handed wrestle an alligator in the Everglades if that’s what it took, because he’s done it before. That said, his real passion is spending time with his wife and daughter, and introducing them to his love of the outdoors fishing, golfing and getting off the grid–gaters beware!
