Rebecca Eger — Empire Profile

Rebecca Eger — 47-year-old divorced single mother of two, grandmother, and International Federation of Body Building & Fitness professional — has joined forces with Robert Kresson, CEO of Empire Investigation LLC, in a partnership built not on business, but on something far more personal: a shared commitment to giving back.

Since 1982, Empire Investigation LLC, located in Robinson Township just outside of downtown Pittsburgh, has been delivering results for clients navigating some of life's most difficult circumstances — domestic infidelity, computer and cell phone forensics, corporate espionage, and electronic surveillance countermeasures.

Rebecca Eger's story recently captured local news and social media attention when she competed for the cover of Jetset Magazine — a premier lifestyle publication that has featured Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, and Kathy Ireland. Rebecca pledged her potential winnings to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a cause made deeply personal after cancer touched her family and close circle of friends. She finished in the top 5 out of thousands of competitors nationwide.

"My age, being in my forties — a lot of times women give up, men give up. They feel it's too late or they can't do it. I'm just out there to prove you can."

Together, Kresson and Eger have sponsored dozens of events benefiting the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, the National Kidney Foundation, the Highmark Caring Foundation, and the Homeless Children's Education Fund. Their partnership stands as a testament to what's possible when Pittsburgh's business and athletic communities unite for something greater than themselves.
