Rob was born on January 3, 1962, in New Haven, Connecticut. He was a 1980 graduate of Platt Regional Vocational Technical School. He enlisted in the United States Air Force in February 1981 and honorably served his country for 28 years. During this time, he was an aircraft maintenance technician and space systems operator. Rob then went on to earn a MS and MBA from Regis University and two Associate degrees from the Community College of the Air Force as well as earning his CPA certification. After his retirement from the USAF, he was employed by the US Department of Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue as a senior staff auditor and retired in September 2019 due to illness. Rob loved skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, camping, deep sea fishing and the Colorado outdoors.
