Three Decades of Service
Robert Deitz has called El Dorado County home for more than three decades. He and his wife, Wendy, first discovered the area in the late 1990s while traveling from Sacramento to explore the Rubicon Trail and the natural beauty of the El Dorado National Forest. Drawn to the county's rural character, strong community spirit, and outdoor heritage, they purchased property off Lotus Road and built the family home where they still live today.
Robert's professional life began in the computer industry, where he developed a passion for innovation and problem-solving. In 1997, he founded one of the nation's earliest companies focused on computer security—years before "cybersecurity" became a common term. His work brought him into collaboration with federal agencies including the Pentagon, NSA, CIA, State Department, DOJ, DHS, and many others.
As a parent, Robert immersed himself in youth programs across the county. He volunteered at the California Montessori Project, served as a Cub Scout Den Leader and Pack Master, coached Little League teams, and later coached youth trap shooting and the Ponderosa High School Mountain Bike Team—where he still volunteers even after his son's graduation and completion of his Eagle Scout rank.
Robert's life reflects a simple principle: when something needs to be done, he steps up. He cares deeply about El Dorado County and has a long record of service, stewardship, and hands-on involvement.
