“Good Morning!” said Bilbo, and he meant it.

“Not all those who wander are lost.”

Rob grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He spent his youth with the towering green of Appalachia center stage. There he nurtured a love of art, especially painting. Exploring all artistic avenues he could, Rob eventually payed his way through college drawing caricatures. It was in college that Rob had his most truly life-altering moment. He met his future wife, Lauren. She later convinced him to journey west, eventually wandering into the foothills of Salt Lake City. The thickets of Pennsylvania replaced with soaring peaks and glowing deserts, Rob’s love of painting returned anew. He began painting his surroundings in earnest. Large canvases coated in thick acrylic paint became his tools. The outdoors once again took center stage.

Rob lives in Salt Lake City with his wife Lauren, and two daughters, Jules and Rooney.
