Robert Comradd is driven by passion, determination and perseverance to help not only him, but others to be successful in all their endeavors. As a member of Toastmasters, Mr. Comradd has won several awards, including best speaker and best table topics. At the age of 50, Mr. Comradd has overcome many obstacles in his lifetime. He is now ready to share his story with others to help motivate them to succeed.
Mr. Comradd, a proud father of three, inspired his children when he graduated from Remington College at the age of 44. He later returned in 2007 to give a commencement speech to the graduating class entitled, “Finishing the Race.” Mr. Comradd’s message is to never give up in the face of adversity, but to finish the race. Along with motivating others, he also encouraged his three children to finish college and develop their own businesses.
Raised by a single mother in the small town of Ferriday, Louisiana, Robert endured both financial and emotional hardships. Never one to give up or give in, he joined the military in an effort to better his family. Mr. Comradd left the military shortly after fighting in the Gulf war, but he found it difficult to find civilian employment. It was at this moment that Robert realized he must control his own destiny. He earned a degree in Electronics and started Comradd Co., a company in which he motivates others to strive for success and never give up.
Robert’s inspiration comes from his mother’s active involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. Under her guidance, Robert and his sister integrated the Lower Elementary school in Ferriday, LA. Further inspired by the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Mr. Comradd knew that he wanted to continue his dream in making a difference.
