Hailing from the coastal plains of North Carolina, Robert B. Herring, III, comes from a background modeled by military structure & one that cultivated him for leadership.  The Herring household, rich with heritage & tradition, molded their namesakes to be a leaders, with strong business acumen, & ultimately humanitarians. 

The earlier parts of Herring’s life focused on the scholastic & extracurricular endeavors that contributed to his social & leadership development while centering community as a fundamental value.

Herring continued being an active agent in various social & political organizations while excelling at the top of his class from high school & throughout college, beginning his matriculation at North Carolina Central University & commencing it as an honor graduate with a degree in Political Science & studies in Psychology. 

Soon after the arts came calling, beckoning him to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue a Master of Arts in Fashion at the Savannah College of Art & Design.  Pulling from his polished upbringing, where order & presentation were paramount, he turned his interests towards the aesthetics, construction, branding, & marketing.  Herring, keenly aware of the potency & influence of imagery, perception, & projections thereof, chose forays into high end retail & hospitality, executive sales, & marketing across several industries to further sharpen his areas of expertise while expanding his professional network.

Financial education is a big deal for us. We need people to understand the history—all the things that have oppressed communities of color—and walk away with a clear understanding of which institutions are committed to the community.

Presently his professional interests consist of engineering concepts & brand building across a range of entrepreneurial ventures specializing in everything from general contracting to brand consultation.
