After high school Rob entered into military service for the US Navy. He was an Electrician's Mate 2nd Class (SW) aboard the USS Constellation (CV-64) when he decided to leave the Navy after 6 years. The day he got out of the Navy he joined the Army National Guard... the part-time thing... one weekend a month and two weeks a year deal. After 8 years in the Guard in Field Artillery he decided to get out and join the Navy Reserve.

After doing nothing for a few months he got hooked into doing some external beta testing for Activision's Visioneers. During his external testing days he playtested the following games:

Teen Digital Diva Asteroids, Shanghai: Second Dynasty, and Heavy Gear II.

The beta testers that lived near Activision were asked if they would like to work temporarily for the '98 holiday season. He happened to live in the LA area and joined the ranks of the Customer Support Dept answering customers' phone calls and emails... troubleshooting (helping people get their games to work). Rob was offered a permanent position in Jun '99.

While at Activision Rob did some QA time on Vigilante 8: Second Offense (N64 version) and Heretic II. He also did a production testing tour on Interstate '82. But his main job at Activision was in Customer Support. Rob was the Customer Support Escalation and Information Support Lead... the tech guy behind CS basically. Rob left Activision in Nov 2003.

Currently, Rob is being a bum going to school full time and just mostly working on this site.
