Rob is one of 5 brothers from a large family in Richmond, Virginia.  Rob played Division I College Soccer at East Carolina University and after graduating, he joined the Street Soccer 945 program at the Urban Ministry Center in Charlotte, NC shortly after its founding in 2005. 

He and his brother then went on to co-founded Street Soccer USA and has been involved in the development of the program nationally since 2007.
