Rob brings a wealth of knowledge from a diverse background. He served on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps and later in the National Guard, where he was part of the infantry in both roles. During Operation Enduring Freedom, Rob served as a squad leader. After attending sniper school, he transitioned from a sniper to a sniper team leader and ultimately became the sniper platoon sergeant.
Following his military service, Rob worked as a private military contractor, providing high-threat security for various government clients in support of their missions across the Middle East. His responsibilities included providing overwatch, mission planning, counter-sniper operations, and precision fire support while escorting clients through operational areas.
