For Rock, the passion for serving Tampa’s business community started in the kitchen of family-owned, Scaglione’s University Restaurant. Raised in a family business, well known for its signature Italian and Cuban dishes, speedy service and fair prices, Rock learned the difference between serving a meal and winning a loyal patron.

Today, the menu has changed for Rock, but the work ethic and dedicated service to his clients remains intact. In 2008 Rock was appointed as Business Development Manager for Storr Office Environments, representing the nation’s largest office furniture manufacturer (Steelcase) in Tampa. Rock brings a unified solution to  organizations experiencing change and growth, including relocation services, space planning and design, new and refurbished furniture procurement, and installation.

Rock’s career path began in Tampa after graduating from Florida State University with degrees in Business and Communications. Rock has helped to develop new business for industry leaders in Insurance, Investments, Lending, Professional Employer Organizations, and Office Furniture.

His beliefs in strong relationships and service to community drove him to co-found Bay Area Advisors in 2003 with long time friend, Jason Levy. He sits on the board of directors of the Italian Invitational Golf Association and is involved with various business associations in town.

“I’m honored to be a part of Bay Area Advisors…I’m surrounded by some of Tampa’s most dedicated professionals…each one constantly raising the bar for the service they provide to their clients and to their community.” –Rock D. Scaglione
