Rob Boyer

Rob Boyer is the CEO and Founder of Narthex Properties, a Leawood, Kansas-based firm he launched in 2017 with a mission to transform historic church properties into thriving, community-centered spaces where churches, daycares, and Christian schools can co-locate and flourish. In addition to Narthex, Rob serves as Managing Partner of Canvas Companies, a complementary holding company he has led concurrently since 2016.

Before founding Narthex, Rob spent nearly 18 years as the owner of Shred-it, building the business from the ground up and guiding it through a successful exit. That experience gave him a deep, practical understanding of what it takes to start, scale, and sell a company. Earlier in his career, he served at the Pentagon as a Senior Strategic Russian Ballistic Missile Analyst.
Rob holds a Bachelor of Science in Russian Studies from the United States Air Force Academy and a Master’s degree in International and Global Studies from Georgetown University.
