A resident of Victorville California since 1965...Rob is a seasoned professional guitar player, who is always in demand. Besides playing with "The Working Poets" a band which Rob named by the way, he is constantly called upon to sit in and guest with other local and regional bands including the Cocktail Katz.
Rob was bitten by the music fever in his 7th grade art class party. "Creedence Clearwater Revivals version of Good Golly Miss Molly was playing. That was the moment I was stung, smitten with the music bug at age 12... At 51 I'm still at it. Music is my passion to give, my dance in life. I want to keep putting it out there, that it may stir the listener's own unique passion in life" ..: Rob is also an accomplished song writer, who likes to play acoustic solo performances when he can, and construction aficionado, who owns his own business and has just recently, moved into a new home that he built himself over the last 3 years. : . :
