Rob enlisted in the Army on July 6th 1994 just to get himself out of the state of Connecticut. He was an Infantry and Armor medic with his first deployment to Kosovo in 1999 with 1/35 Armor out of Baumholder Germany.
He went to flight medic school in 2002 and deployed to Iraq in 2003 and earned the Soldier's Medal for Heroism for helping his teammates out of a helicopter crash in Samarah, Iraq. He was then selected for a support medic role with Joint Special Operations Command and attended Airborne school ( All The Way). He completed his time in the Army as a healthcare recruiter and retired in 2020.
Rob interviewed Katy and Kelly from Comeback Yoga on his radio show one evening and decided to try yoga at the River Yoga one Tuesday evening, and he was intrigued. Rob was selected for Comeback yogas scholarship for 200 hour training and trained at Samadhi Yoga in Denver. He now teaches Friday evenings at Zenith Authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and hopes no one notices when he pronounces the positions incorrectly (they always do).
