The Matchmakers

Club Elite
A New Generation of Matchmakers

At Club Elite, helmed by long-time matchmaker and CSW, Lisa
Clampitt, you'll find a young man who is not only committed to his
community, he's committed to bringing some old-fashioned romance to a
traditionally bar and club-focused casual dating scene.

Robert Anderson, trained under a small group of seasoned
matchmakers, social workers, and "relationship experts," is bringing old-
fashioned, thoughtful - and very effective - cupidry to a community where
relationship-oriented men have historically had to search high and low for
like-minded partners.

This was motivation to become more involved in his community. When the opportunity to work for Club Elite came along, he was excited. He loves the idea of bringing romance and the possibility of relationships to the lives of great guys. He also enjoys the social side of the business, going to all events about town, and meeting new matches for his clients! As a graduate of The Matchmaking Institute, he is one of the only two certified gay matchmakers in the world.

Rob is currently ending production on a documentary for LOGO on dating. A possible TV series is in the works.
