Rob started his journey in the funeral profession working at a local funeral home at the age of 19. What began as a part time job for extra cash turned into a passion. In 1994 he attended the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science. He served as a funeral director and embalmer in Mesquite, TX before taking a job with SCI near his hometown in Southwest Missouri. He later transferred to St. Louis working 3 more years. The birth of his first child led to the decision to move back to Ozark, MO so his children could grow up around their grandparents. He took a job as Sales Manager for a Wilbert Vault distributor, serving funeral homes in Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. Rob continued his sales career in the x-ray field for several years. In 2013 Rob joined C&J Financial as the Midwest Sales Rep before taking the role he currently holds as Director of Strategic Partnerships.
Rob still resides in Ozark, Missouri with his wife Gayla and daughter Lauren and close to his son Logan.
