Rob has been the Minister of Music since June 2016.  Having received a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Performance from the University of Wyoming in 1984, and a Master of Music degree in Music Theory from the University of Houston in 1986, he entered the Army’s music program as a staff music arranger and instrumentalist.  Finishing his military music career in the Air Force, he retired from military service in 2014.  Rob has been an adjunct faculty member at two universities, a 4th – 12th grade band director, an arts administrator, a professional saxophonist, a private music teacher, and an associate music minister in several churches. Rob was raised in a strong Christian family where he “accepted Christ” and was baptized at the age of 6.  It wasn’t until 15 years later, during a music tour in Hawaii that he became serious about his faith and realized the implications of his decision to follow Christ.  Rob’s call to ministry wasn’t very dramatic, he sort of fell into it and realized that that’s where he was meant to be.

Rob’s wife, Ann, a professional musician as well, forever brightened his life by marrying him in 1988.  Their son, William, is currently studying at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.  Rob enjoys chess, hiking, gardening with his wife, and playing jazz.
