Robert attended Whitehall Yearling High School where he played football and graduated in 1978. Following high school, he worked a variety of logistics management roles with The Limited Brands, while attending The Ohio State University for some time, eventually rising to Director of Physical Distribution, Transportation and Logistics for Henri Bendel. Robert left The Limited in 1991 to spend more time with his family and start his own business. He was heavily involved in Pickerington Youth Sports as a coach and baseball/softball umpire for 20 years. Robert was inspired by his mother's health care experience to pursue a career in nursing and had recently fulfilled that dream, graduating in 2013 from Chamberlain College of Nursing with an Associate's Degree in Nursing. Robert's greatest achievement and sense of fulfillment in life was in helping his own children and grandchildren realize their own dreams.
