Robert Bearce
From Parkville Married with 3 kids. Has worked in the residential mortgage business for the last 22 years. Currently a Partner to Alcova Mortgage. In 2013 I started creating and implementing software programs to streamline information from clients to business with a text savvy programs. I took that knowledge and created a sign in system "More than meeting "for my nonprofit we founded in 2009 called the BBPA.Briarcliff Business Partner Alliance. The sign in system started there and then we used it in a series of meetings and fundraising events. We just completed a decade of music festivals- Briarfest 10 helping to raise money for area charities. I'm also one of the exutive directors of Kansas City Limits it's a program that allowed me to interview dozens of musicians local and national. In that time I discovered there was no product allowing a band to capture a fans info nor was there a platform that directed the fan to all the different social and Payment platforms all at once ,and there has never been a Bamo boomerang thanking fans minutes after seeing the show. I'm also a musician as the lead singer to the Free Rent band. I enjoy the out doors ,songwriting, Festivals And a great sunset!
