A lifetime in finance taught Bob Tenczar the value of strategy, but retirement showed him the deeper value of service.

Inspired by his mother’s battle with breast cancer, Bob committed himself to giving back through organizations like The Rose and Avance Houston. His passion for helping underserved communities access care has turned volunteering into his life’s second chapter: one defined by purpose, compassion, and impact.
