Our Founder

Robert A. Rosakranse, started The Revenue Markets, Inc. (TRMI) in 1974 with a single product, the treadle. From this, Mr. Rosakranse built TRMI into a multi-million dollar business that has been family-owned for over 40 years.

"Bob" Rosakranse was a classic entrepreneur. Prior to TRMI, Bob founded Rosakranse Masonry in the late 1960s and worked on the construction of many New York municipal buildings, schools and residences. His interest in local history drove him to purchase and restore an historic inn, along with an adjacent 200 year old orchard, returning it to a productive local agricultural staple.

Bob was well-known for his generosity and sharp wit. Throughout his life, he donated generously of his time and resources to many organizations and local institutions. An avid world traveler, his passion for travel brought him to over 100 countries. He loved traveling with his family and took great pleasure in experiencing new cultures and adventures. He also loved horticulture, and spent many hours after the work day absorbed in his gardens.

Bob's passing in January of 2015 was a great personal loss for TRMI and its employees. Bob had a way of making everyone feel like family, and his daily presence at the company is truly missed. As a result of Bob's foresight and vision for the future, TRMI’s management team has maintained an unwavering commitment to the success of TRMI and is looking forward to a strong future of continued growth and development.
