Robert W. Envall: Principal

Bob formed his career in the furniture industry working as a representative as well as in management for manufacturers. He also worked as a furniture dealer sales person learning the value of the dealer’s deep personal responsibility to the customer.

Bob started his firm understanding there was a need for a truly professional organization supporting the architectural, design and dealer community. Believing service is the answer; eai (Envall Associates) continues to prove that is what our customers are looking for.

Dedicated to the people he serves he has made sure he and his associates support our industry’s originations through sponsorship, participation and donations.

Spare moments, which are but a few, Bob, enjoys snow skiing, traveling and his cat, Bear.
