ABOUT ME
Rob Oley is a 3rd generation Manlius resident, and 2nd generation Fayetteville-Manlius High School graduate. He married Tine in 1996 and they have three wonderful children Febe, Kobe and Luna; all of whom graduated from F-M. Rob has been employed at Tracey Road Equipment as an IT Coordinator for the last 22 years. Additionally, he runs a painting business called Working Nights and Weekends. Many of you may know him from working at Buzzy’s Diner, a family-run business that thrived in the village for 29 years.
He stays informed of Village happenings by attending board meetings and has done so for the past four years. At the meetings he uses the public forum to ask questions and challenge the current board on issues such as vacant buildings, traffic flow and how the village will keep a community feel for their long-term residents. He feels more can be done and he wants to help.
He is looking forward to running a bi-partisan campaign, hence the choice of purple. He wants to serve the community that he loves so much.
