The Team

BOB DYKSTRA

CEO, Commercial Developer

 

Steven founded a video production firm in 2014, and somewhere between interviewing college professors, or holding a Ronin while riding a van through a water logged neighborhood in Cap-Haïtien, he realized that he had a knack for building boutique teams to fit specific client’s needs. A few years later Abide in Media gave birth to Glasswing, a digital marketing firm that provided a more comprehensive digital product line for companies ranging from non profits in Uganda to a prominent immigration law firm in Michigan.

After discovering unexpected synergy between himself, a producer, and Bob, a commercial developer, that vendor client relationship blossomed into a partnership. Turns out storytelling, ingenuity, and resourcefulness (as well as capital) are an integral part of seeing any creative production come together whether it’s digital or commercial.

 

“Matching people's needs with exactly the right building and space configuration so they can achieve optimum purpose and success in their personal and business goals is what gets me up every morning.”

Approx. $650M+ in developed projects as principal: 20+ Sports Medicine complexes(12 over 100,000 sq ft, 29 restaurants, 3 hotels (92-120 units each), 7 Office, 5 medical office, and 16 mixed use.

Highly sought after operating developer for innovative, cutting edge luxury projects.

Bob has an insatiable desire to make creative ideas a reality, especially when that reality creates employment, buzz, and economic development. Tech-savvy far beyond his years, his ability to dream big and collaborate with others sets him apart as a developer of the future with the experience of the past.

“Many of our interested audiences are looking for an easy tool to access their personal wellness options, a platform that helps individuals take more control over personal healthcare options, a solution that goes far beyond physical fitness tracking into education, cultural and life pursuits that add to mental wellness and overall well-being.
LifeHUB is that platform. We’ve created a boundary-less space via the LifeHUB app that is an inclusive community gathering point for wellness interaction – physical, social, mental, creative, educational – literally any wellness pursuit that the LifeHUB community wants to explore.”
– Robert Dykstra, founder of LifeHUB.
