   We The People®, owned and operated by Bob Vearling, opened an office in Aston on September 6, 2005.  Bob has been managing his first office, located in Clifton Heights, PA, for the

past 6 years.  When asked why he would choose Aston Township to open his second office, he commented, “Aston is an established and solid community.  I’ve seen a tremendous amount of residential and business

growth over the past couple of years and knew Aston is the town where I wanted to be.”  We The People® is located at 3510 Concord Road.  We wish Bob Vearling every success!
