Overview
Robert Ritter grew up in Dalton, PA, on the peripheries of Scranton. He worked in a coal and lumber business that his father owned. He then moved to New Jersey to attend a prep school and later landed at Williams College in northwest Massachusetts, where he graduated with a B.A. in Psychology.
This Ritter boy had a knack for exploring his passion to the fullest. Be it music or entrepreneurship. Robert aced everything. He played lead cornet while at Williams. His college band was the first to play at Carnegie Hall.
His group won the nationwide most-watched show, Arthur Godfrey Talent Scout Show on CBS, appeared two times on the Tonight Show on NBC, and was invited to play for Princess Grace’s wedding in Monaco.
Besides his entertainment overtures, Robert rocked in professional life as well. After college, he joined the Newark General Agency of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance. He started leading the Agency in production in his second year, but he didn’t halt just there. In the following two years, MassMutual promoted him to General Agent in Oakland, CA, and with that, he became the youngest person ever to achieve that milestone in the US.
Robert Ritter is the founder of landmark FinTech software company, InsMark, a great source of success for over 30,000 financial producers. Nearly 100 major life insurance companies have sponsored InsMark’s products. The success of InsMark reflects Robert Ritter’s innovative ideas.
He established InsMark in 1983.
During years of working in the retail end of the life insurance business, he felt something was always amiss in company-sponsored presentations. He observed that the illustration of life insurance data was typically poorly presented to customers because other departments, such as legal and actuarial, got in the way.
Robert Ritter came to us because he wanted further to boost his brand and social media credibility and authority.
