Robert Hileman
Owner, Co-Founder
Robert started his career in radiology. He found his passion on the business side of healthcare and quickly found himself starting his own mobile medical/diagnostic service company. After selling one of his companies to a public entity he advanced to an executive-level position within that national imaging corporation. As he decided to get closer to his clients, he then assumed management control of another national imaging service provider. While there, he discovered a significant lack of expertise specific to high-tech medical equipment, from a property tax perspective. That discovery, coupled with his history and education in radiology and diagnostic imaging, uniquely prepared him to launch Property Valuation Services. Robert has managed certain business and development aspects since its beginning in 1997.
Dave Dlugopolski
Owner, Co-Founder
David began his career in property tax representation in 1989, working for a national tax consulting firm as an Assistant Vice President. His next strategic move was to take a position as the in-house corporate tax manager of the largest hospital corporation in the United States. His prior tax expertise and the knowledge he gained from his move to the large healthcare provider proved to be the foundation needed to launch Property Valuation Services. Dave continues to play a key role in the day-to-day management of the technical aspects of the business.
