Rob Fleming is a lifelong resident of Missoula and is more than proud to call it his “forever” home. After graduating with a business degree from the University of Montana in the early 1990’s, he found his way into mortgage lending in 1995 and is still actively helping Missoulians achieve home ownership as a loan originator and Branch Manager of Mann Mortgage. Over the last 15 years Fleming has also served on the boards of Missoula International School, Habitat for Humanity and the Montana Association of Mortgage Bankers. He joined the MDF Board in January 2022 and looks forward to helping serve the wonderful community of Downtown Missoula! Fleming is passionate about continuing to nourish what has always made Missoula such a special place: an engaged, diverse and welcoming community, amazing outdoor access, incredible educational opportunities and a first-class downtown. Rob is proud to have two young adult daughters who are as in love with Missoula as he is.  When he is not working or with family, he gets out on his bike, snowboard, cross country skis or into his favorite Montana rivers as much as humanly possible!
