Rob Shaw is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point where he studied physics engineering before beginning his military career in 1995.
Following his service in the military, Rob began his banking career in 1999 with a large regional bank named AmSouth (now Regions Bank) as a commercial loan underwriter. After several years in that role, Rob had the opportunity to move into a sales position as a Relationship Manager calling on middle market commercial businesses.
In 2005 Rob had the opportunity to work for a smaller local community bank named Signature Bank as their Clearwater Market Executive. It was through this position that he discovered the advantages of working for smaller local banks that have the ability to be more flexible and nimble in their decision making. As a result, his career since then has exclusively been with local community banks to include USAmeriBank, NorthStar Bank, and now Flagship Bank where he currently serves as their Executive Vice President and Senior Lender.
Outside of banking Rob serves on the board of Morton Plant Hospital and MCC of Tampa Bay. When not working he enjoys riding his bike, swimming, paddle boarding, and spending time with his son who is a freshman at Florida State University.
