Rob started playing tennis at the age of five, right here in Sun Valley. He was instantly addicted! Rob participated in multiple tennis clinics each day throughout the summers and spent hours hitting tennis balls against his garage door, pretending to be his idol, Bjorn Borg. Throughout his junior years Rob competed in Intermountain Division tennis tournaments, achieving great success. Rob started his career in tennis at Sun Valley Company at the age of 15, becoming their youngest full-time summer tennis pro. Rob spent 16 summers running children's programs and teaching private lessons to adults and advanced juniors. During his teaching experience Rob has co-instructed clinics and played in multiple exhibition matches with tennis professionals Mats Wilander, Tom Gorman, Fred Stolle and Tracy Austin. The experiences he's achieved with these professionals, as well as with other great tennis mentors, have greatly influenced his career and teaching style.

Rob enjoys skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, alpine touring, mountain biking, hiking, golf, tennis, and rock climbing.
