For more than half of his life, Rob has been working behind a microphone. From the time he was five years old, "calling" his own "races" with his Hot Wheels and NASCAR diecast cars, Rob knew he wanted to be a broadcaster. He was eager to learn, and quickly gained experience, getting his first job as a public address announcer when he was just 14 years old. He worked in radio as a part-timer during his high school days in northeast Indiana, then attended Ball State University. There, he worked in both radio and television, doing both news and sports, before graduating with a four-year degree as a dual major in telecommunications and journalism. After college, Rob received his first full-time radio job at WORX-FM in Madison, Indiana. He worked there for three years, as an afternoon host, a broadcaster, a producer, and social media manager. On the side, he was the PA voice of the Hanover College Panthers. In 2018, Rob moved to Indianapolis, and worked as a sports anchor and an award-winning news anchor/reporter at Emmis Communications. Rob also continued PA announcing and broadcasting, covering events at both the high school and college levels. In the summer of 2022, he and his wife moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. Currently, Rob is a Sports Information Director at Green Level High School, where he also PA announces sporting events for the Gators. Rob is also the in-stadium voice of football at the University of North Carolina, and fills in for other sports at UNC, along with Duke University. He has continued his other passion, play-by-play broadcasting, while living in the Triangle, too. According to his peers, former co-workers, and bosses, Rob is a "breath of fresh air," "ahead of his time," and "easy to work with." He is "a quick learner" and "a hard worker" that brings a "creative," "professional," and "fun and exciting" presence to the workplace, and "great energy to every game." |
