Robert has committed his life to the game of golf since swinging his mother’s old wooden-shafted 9 iron in Massachusetts at 8 years old. At 14 he become a member of the highly regarded Whitinsville Golf Club in Whitinsville, Massachusetts, considered by many aficionados as one of the top 9 hole layouts in the world. At WGC he honed his game, his affinity for 9 hole layouts and laid the foundation for a career in golf course design.
Since then, Robert has followed a path of achievement combining quality education and invaluable hands-on experience.

At Ohio State he created his own academic program specializing in golf course design working within the Agronomy, Engineering, Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture Departments.

Realizing the importance of understanding successful construction and maintenance practices and techniques, Robert spent three years at New Albany Country Club, a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus signature course in New Albany, Ohio. During this time, Robert assisted in the execution of a number of construction and maintenance projects, from the course’s inception through grand opening.
Robert then joined Keith Foster Golf Course Design assisting in the development and preparation of design documentation, construction specifications and client communications on numerous award winning projects throughout the United States, including Haymaker, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and Texas Star in the Dallas-metro area.
