Robert J. Castro, Sr.
DIRECTOR, OPERATIONS + MARKETING
Built for pressure, driven by purpose
I’ve spent my career making sense of complex systems and ensuring the mission gets done. Before joining AWP, I spent over 14 years in the Army and as a Department of Defense civilian, leading operations for Special Forces legal teams around the world. I was awarded the Bronze Star during a deployment with the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne)—an experience still shaping how I lead and solve problems today.
That background taught me how to stay clear-headed under pressure and bring order to fast-moving situations. At AWP, I apply the same mindset to keep things moving behind the scenes, so our clients can stay focused on what matters.
As a veteran and first-generation American, I know what hard work, sacrifice, and long-term planning look like in action. I joined this team because I believe in what we’re building, and in helping people create lives that are protected, sustainable, and truly their own.
Outside of work, I’m a proud husband, dad of two, and happiest outdoors with a fishing rod, our two doodles (Moose and Bear) in tow, and no cell service in sight.
