Bio

Rob is a giant among men. He has held every kind of job you can imagine, from shoveling manure to being a professional graphic designer.

Originally from Aiken, South Carolina, he graduated with a bachelors in Fine Arts after only 8 1/2 years. He is an avid coffee drinker, music listener, and an all-around amazing person.

Recently, having spent 2 or 3 years as a graphic designer, he decided that sitting in front of a computer all day long was not fulfilling enough, and he quit.

He joined the AmeriCorps VISTA program, and through that found Youth Venture. He now resides in Concord, New Hampshire, and works as a program development associate for Youth Venture New England.

Rob loves to design hemp jewelery, play the djembe (an african drum), listen to music, drink coffee, ride his bike, surf the internet, read (especially "deep" books), participate in art in all its myriad forms, and run around screaming.

He is handsome as all get-out, not too southern, and most definitely takes umbrage to being called a hippie.

Rob,

It was great meeting you at the workshop in Seattle on thursday; we're going to get started on our action plan ASAP. You were a fantastic small group leader and I hope you have a fun rest of your tour!
