Rob McNealy is a small business, entrepreneurship, and startup junkie. His passion is using social media to evangelize about small businesses, and coaching entrepreneurs on his Startup Story Radio podcast and blog.

Rob earned a BS in Geography and Marketing from Central Michigan University, as well as an MBA from Colorado State University. He believes that education is important, but not essential to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

A native of Metro-Detroit, Rob has a diverse background with more than two decades of proven experience in marketing, management, and sales. And besides spending many years in the corporate world working for companies such as Ford Motor Company, Pilatus Business Aircraft, and Yazaki North America, he has started and run more than five small businesses.

His most recent small business accomplishments include starting a flooring company in the Metro-Denver area called Natural Wood Floors, LLC. To complement that company, Rob is also the host of the Ask A Floor Guy blog and podcast where he helps people solve their flooring problems, as well as interviewing leading experts in the flooring industry.

In addition to running Natural Wood Floors, along his wife Kristie McNealy, MD, Rob also co-founded Contrived Media, Ltd., a social media marketing company, which specializes in medical and pharmaceutical marketing.

Rob and Kristie are both ambitious entrepreneurs and enjoy the flexibility of working for themselves so they can spend more time raising their three children and enjoying life.
