About Us:
Robert Morrison:
Robert Morrison has been extremely successful in countless endeavors throughout his life. These have provided
him with unique talents needed to help others realize their dating dreams. He learned early on from pursuing
many different skill activities that time and hard work are NOT the key components to being successful. You can
be golfing seriously for twenty years but if you have always had the same problems with your swing then it is
quite possible you might find yourself far behind someone who has been doing it for a year . . . but doing it RIGHT
for that year. Practice does not make perfect, it only makes permanent.
By the time Robert was twenty-two years old he owned two restaurants, obtained that milestone six figure salary,
was an accomplished musician having completed one of the top five low brass programs in the nation, and more
importantly was incredibly physically fit, tall, and handsome. And he could not get a date to save his life.
Maybe it was because he was raised in an all female home or maybe it was because he spent too much of his
younger years working and not socializing. Either way, it took a complete reworking of how he understood dating
and nine years of time and money slaving away in the dating scene before finally finding the woman of his dreams
and being able to settle down. From that experience he gained a deep appreciation of the unprecedented value
of discovering the right person. But even more than that, what the deep emotional and financial cost that
traveling the dating road can exact on someone. It is now his goal to help make that road as short as possible for
others.
Robert was an accomplished student growing up, earning a full ride scholarship to one of the top music programs
in the United States. Upon completion of his BA from the University of Northern Colorado he decided to forgo
pursuing a professional career, instead opening up a Blackjack Pizza franchise in Estes Park, Colorado. The
restaurant was extremely successful and shattered all company opening sales and profit records. Within nine
months he purchased a second, previously existing store, in Colorado Springs and set another company record for
tripling the sales of the store in just three months.
Although very successful in business, Robert had two other desires in life
which superseded this. One was to win a national championship in
Taekwondo and the other was to pursue a career in education. Up to this
point Robert had been training seriously in Taekwondo for eleven years. To
realize this dream, he sold off both businesses and used the proceeds to
finance two hard years of training. It paid off and he won the national title
in 2003. After that he had the opportunity to travel around the globe
competing in places as far away as Australia.
In 2005, he entered both the graduate history program, and the teaching licensure program at Colorado State
University. He was one of the few graduate students to be awarded a graduate teaching assistantship for the
duration of his studies, teaching a total of three courses. After completing all the required coursework for both
courses he relocated to Wichita, and has been enjoying living in one of the best cities in the country.

assistance by a client will not he handled in house but they will instead be referred to a certified local
specialist.
