Rob enjoyed listening to popular music on radio from an early age & was bitten by the broadcasting bug while watching a DJ at the Syracuse Auto Show in 1972. An aunt gave him a reel to reel tape recorder, and like Casey Kasem, Rob began recording music, dubbing in his voice announcing songs & telling jokes like his favorite personalities. Rob majored in Communications & Broadcasting at SUNY Oswego and was blessed when a friend & mentor told him of a part-time job opening at WSCP-AM. Rob worked there during weekends & summers and learned every aspect of radio, becoming News Director there upon graduation. He also worked at stations in the Hudson Valley & Capitol regions including over a decade at WMHT-FM in Schenectady. When Rob returned to Syracuse, he was encouraged to listen to MHN, and in 2012, God opened the door for him to join the network as a part time announcer, technical director & fundraiser. In 2015, he became Partner Relations Manager & continues in that role, working with underwriters throughout the network. Rob is also a School Bus Driver/Trainer with Tully Central Schools & serves Eastwood Baptist Church as Worship Technician & fill-in keyboard player. Rob grew up in a faith-filled home & grew in his faith & study of God’s Word by helping at a Bible camp & joining a youth ministry in Oswego. He lives in North Syracuse with his wife Barbara & their two beagles. He is the proud father of one son, an Air Force officer, & loving Papa to one grandson. He spends his free time restoring & showing his classic car, fixing things around home, playing favorite songs on piano, making appearances at karaoke venues & enjoying God’s beauty & grace locally & in travels.
