Rob attended school and played all his minor sports in Regina. Currently, Rob is employed by the Regina Public School Division as the Academy Coordinator of the Martin Academy. 

 After graduating from the University of Regina (Bachelor of Education) in 1998, Rob decided to pursue coaching and help aspiring Saskatchewan athletes achieve personal success. In addition to coaching numerous teams throughout his teaching career, Rob spent five seasons coaching elite programs with Saskatchewan Baseball including the 2005 Canada Summer Games team. 

After serving as the pitching coach for the Regina Red Sox of the Western Major Baseball League for three seasons, Rob was named the on field manager of the Regina Red Sox.  In three seasons as the leader of this club, Rob took the team to the WMBL Championship series twice, culminating with championship in 2011.  For his efforts, Rob was recognized as the Coach of the year by the WMBL and also the Saskatchewan Baseball Association. In 2012, Rob chose to step down as the on field manager to spend more time coaching and interacting with his young family.  However his role with the Red Sox as Director of Player Personnel provided him an opportunity to help put together another championship team in 2012.  Rob continues to work as the Director of Player Personnel with the Red Sox and looks forward to working alongside his mentor Scott Douglas again this season.
