  • I was born in 1970 in a small city called Booneville. At age 2, my mom and dad moved to San Diego as my father joined the navy and became a corpsman. They divorced in 74 and my mom met the man who would torture me for the next 12 years. I attended Cal Poly Pomona, had a NROTC scholarship, crosstowning at UCLA. I was commissioned in 1993 and went to flight school. I ended up flying the C-2A Greyhound (plane I crashed in), was a T-34C instructor, an FRS instructor and finished my career flying the Navy's intermediate and advanced jet trainer, the T-45C Goshawk.After the Navy, I was hired by L3 as an ISR pilot in Afghanistan. Spent a total of 18 months in theater butt quit, it just got too much for me. I flew King Air's for Wheels up and was later hired at NetJets (great company and job) in my opinion. I was diagnosed with PTSD (extreme anxiety) in September of 2019 and lost my FAA medical for good. I took two years off and then was hired by Flight Safety International and became a simulator instructor pilot. That leads us up to today.

He is also a multilingual, retired U.S. Navy SEAL, intelligence professional, and career Red Team security leader. He has worked in more than 30 countries over more than 30 years.  In 1986, Rob underwent Russian language and culture training for service with the National Security Agency, NSA. After ten years working out of Maryland, a multinational base in Northern Turkey, and Hawaii, he transitioned to SEAL training.  From 1996 to 2006, Rob served as a special reconnaissance SEAL at SDV Team ONE in Hawai’i and as a Red Team operator based in Washington, DC. He has trained foreign forces in a dozen nations and has planned mock terrorist attacks against American interests worldwide.  On 9/11 Rob was teaching Arab commandos at a remote Persian Gulf base. American and Arab SEALs together watched the Towers collapse, and both nations went to war against al Qaeda.  Such complex experiences led to his first book on cross-cultural conflict, “Powerful Peace: A Navy SEAL's Lessons on Peace from a Lifetime at War.”  Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis emailed Rob about Powerful Peace to say, “You’ve written a masterful work ... you did expand my perspective.”  World-renowned peak performance expert Tony Robbins called Powerful Peace, "A must-read for all, but especially those who wish to influence others."  Rob has spoken extensively on television, radio, and in keynote talks across the United States on “unchaining” human potential and leading powerful teams.
