Someone once told him in high school that filmmaking wasn't a lucrative career. So he got an English degree from the University of St. Thomas (MN) instead. Reading great authors like Fyodor Dostoevsky, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Flannery O'Connor enriched and influenced Rob's desire to tell stories visually, and so, midway through his college career, he decided to give it a try and bought his first video camera. From the moment he opened that camera box in 2009, Rob has professionally held just about every role in the filmmaking process - from cinematographer to director. His self-taught skills and experience have landed him gigs with organizations such as the National Football League, the United Nations, Netflix, Fox Sports, Xbox, and Vistaprint.
