Rob was born in upstate New York. He entered Cornell University with plans to be an astronomer (studying with the late Carl Sagan), but found geology to be much more down to Earth. He moved to Seattle to pursue his PhD at the University of Washington, where he specialized in glaciers, climate, and Northwest geology. Rob spent his summers in Alaska "tracking glaciers" - trying to determine where they had been in the past and how they were affected by climate change. He spent several years teaching geology and environmental science around Puget Sound, designing web pages, and volunteering at the zoo, before settling in at Bellevue College in 1999. Rob currently resides on the Eocene Blakeley and Renton formations in Bellevue, with his wife, daughter and three cats.
