At Quest, we value dedication and commitment.
One member of our company who embodies these attributes is Rob Cage — who recently celebrated 12 years with Quest!
Rob was first interviewed for a job by Katie Porta, Quest’s founder and former CEO She broke down the vision for Camp Thunderbird and the organization; from there Rob was all in.
Rob’s first position with Quest was at Camp Thunderbird in 2010. Eventually, he transitioned to our Training Center in Apopka in 2012.
Then, in 2013, he was promoted to Senior Director over the Orlando, Tampa, and Apopka training centers. After years of great work, in 2018, he was promoted to leadership as the Vice President of Client Advancement and Skills Development.
Eventually, in 2020, he transitioned into his current position, Vice President of Education and Employment.
Rob has seen Quest from many different angles. He’s also a prime example of our team members’ potential to progress through the company. As a leader, Rob has impacted many of his employees. “It’s great working with someone who is equally balanced regarding both financials and client outcomes. His background across other programs has afforded him a lot of experience that he can bring to the table,” said Melissa Lopez, Quest Kids Academy Director, which is one of many programs Rob oversees.
“Evolving is always necessary — whether to achieve personal goals, the goals of our teams, or the goals of the individuals we serve. Being willing and able to adjust to moving targets/needs is crucial. Things constantly change, so you have to accept that to avoid being left standing still,” said Rob.
We are thankful for team members like Rob, whose ongoing investment makes a tremendous impact on Quest culture and on the lives of those we serve.
