This Saturday, I am honored to serve as the keynote speaker for the Eighth Annual Tie Event, a program designed to empower young men by teaching them the importance of character, self-presentation, and the timeless skill of tying a necktie. Hosted by The Program Inc., this event is more than a workshop—it’s an opportunity to plant seeds of confidence and leadership in the next generation.
As the founder of Pasker Real Estate, I’m proud that my company is sponsoring this transformative event. Giving back to the community has always been a cornerstone of my mission, and my passion for working with youth drives everything I do. Before my real estate business took off, I was a teacher, guiding students in Columbus and Toledo. Those years shaped my perspective on the critical role mentorship and education play in a young person’s life.
“If I can touch today’s youth, I can leave my thumbprint on the future.”
-Rob Pasker
I firmly believe that if I can touch today’s youth, I can leave my thumbprint on the future. The values of resilience, persistence, and civic responsibility—which I’ll share during my keynote speech—are essential tools for success, not just in personal development but in shaping thriving communities.

Events like The Tie Event are vital because they provide young men with more than just practical skills. They offer a sense of belonging, mentorship, and a vision of what they can achieve. I’m thrilled to stand alongside Tramain Rayford, President of The Program Inc., and the dedicated team who have worked tirelessly to make this event possible.
