Former Congressman Robert Pittenger has lived a remarkable life—in politics and outside. From distinguished athletes, Christian leaders and music giants, to Presidents, the honorable Robert Pittenger has had a front row seat to many of the most consequential moments and decisions in history.
Pittenger shares his many personal stories and observations in his book
CHARACTER MATTERS: PERSONAL STORIES OF 31 WORLD CHANGERS.
“The purpose of this book of stories is to highlight the leadership qualities of some exceptional individuals I have had the opportunity to know and work with over the past five decades. This book is not intended to be about me.
On my part, any reference conveying some measure of success is fully attributable to the mercy of God and His faithful hand in the process, sometimes despite me. God revealed Himself to Moses in a burning bush. There was nothing appealing or inherently good in a scrubby, thorny bush. As my Old Testament professor at the Institute for Biblical Studies, Dr. Ralph Alexander, closed out each day’s lesson, “Are you available to God? He doesn’t need our ability, but our availability for Him to do His work and be glorified”.
Hopefully, these stories will offer you some insight as to why these individuals became remarkably successful people, and perhaps why one got lost in his own misguided focus.”
—Author Robert Pittenger

BIO: Congressman Robert M Pittenger, author of CHARACTER MATTERS: PERSONAL STORIES OF 31 WORLD CHANGERS, represented the Charlotte, North Carolina area for three terms, with a focus on national security, foreign investment reform, tax reform, and religious freedom. He served as Chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, and as Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Terrorism and Illicit Finance.
Congressman Pittenger received bipartisan recognition for his leadership on reforming the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the only government agency tasked with identifying potential foreign investments which threaten national security. His Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, which cracked down on malicious foreign investment targeting national security technology, was signed into law in 2018.
He also received bipartisan recognition for elevating the issue of “terrorism financing” as another front in the war on terror. In this role, he has met with hundreds of world leaders and security experts to advocate increased global cooperation in the fight against radical Islamic terrorism. He has organized and hosted more than one dozen Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forums, which have brought together over 700 Members of Parliament and other leaders from 70 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America to discuss counter-terror finance, cyber security, data sharing, cryptocurrencies, and predatory foreign investment.
Born and raised in Texas, Robert was the youngest of four children. His dad was a small business owner, and his mother raised the children. Upon graduating from the University of Texas, Congressman Pittenger worked for 10 years as Assistant to the President of Campus Crusade for Christ, helping to bring the work of the organization to over 170 countries. In 1985, Congressman Pittenger moved to Charlotte, where he built a national real estate investment company.
Congressman Pittenger and his wife, Suzanne, live in Charlotte. They have four grown children and twelve adorable grandchildren.
