James Pollack
Jimmy founded Detroit Financial after spending two decades in the financial services and insurance industry. Frustrated with antiquated methods and stodgy persona, Jimmy found it time to co-create something more exciting and appropriate for the 21st century.
Prior to Detroit Financial, Jimmy ran the day to day operations of one of the largest independent marketing organizations in the country and personally contributed to the development of over 100 representatives while helping to grow an investment portfolio in excess of 1.5 billion dollars.
As a personal advisor he helped hundreds of individuals in the private and public sector plan and prepare for their short term and retirement goals. As a result, he has been awarded some of the highest honors and recognition his industry has to offer.
Jimmy is a dedicated husband to an incredible wife, partner and friend as well as a father to four amazing children and a servant two loving dogs. He has a true passion for family, the outdoors, travel and adventure. When he is not working he is involved in his children’s extra curricular activities as well as many charitable organizations.
Robert DeRoven
Rob was inspired to join Detroit Financial — driven by his passion — with the goal of helping individuals, families, and corporations build and protect their assets.
Before joining the finance and insurance industry Rob worked in new home construction as a vice-president of sales. When the real estate market collapsed in 2006, Rob witnessed so many peoples’ dreams crashing with their financial stability shattered. He realized quickly that it was time for change. Since 2007 he has been helping individuals and their families do better financially today and into ALL of their tomorrows.
Rob’s former firm managed over 1.5 billion dollars and was the gold standard for agents. He was the leading producer during his ten year stay, amassing over 1000 clients. During his tenure, he also ran the firm’s national sales and training program, creating and managing the US field sales force.
All the accolades, though, are nothing compared to the satisfaction he gets from helping others. Clients are an extension of family for Rob. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PARAMOUNT… “Products are products and plans are plans so I am going to beat other firms and agents with the client support I provide.” Rob is passionate about making people (all people regardless of net worth or age) feel at ease during the process of discussing their finances.
Rob lives in Birmingham Michigan with his wife Rachel and their children Marley, Jonah, Oscar, and Charlie.
