It all began when Rob started riding calves at the age of 2 at Kispiox, B.C when his Dad with the help of Gene Allen, put Rob on his first calf. He won his first buckle that day for the youngest contestant, an award he won 3 years in a row at the Kispiox Valley Rodeo.

He gradually transitioned to Steers at 7 years of age. At 15, Rob entered his first High School Rodeo in Merritt, B.C. His ability to practice was nonexistent so entering a rodeo was his only way to try Bull Riding. Rob not only rode his Bull that day, he won first! To say he was hooked was an understatement.

Rob went on to win 3 Canadian Bull Riding Championships in 1999, 2000, & 2004. He has qualified for the NFR 3 times in 1999, 2000, & 2001. And he qualified twice for the PBR World Finals earning the Glen Keeley award in 2003 & 2004 which is given to the top ranked Canadian Bull Rider.

In 2002, Rob had the honor to represent Canada at the Olympic Rodeo in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Rob & his wife Shelly, along with their 2 sons Collin & Hayden & his stepson Hunter, live in Stonewall, Louisiana. Rob is a welding inspector in the Oilfield.
