After 17 years at Time-Warner, where his responsibilities varied from consumer marketing and special events to building management and office operations for Sports Illustrated, he departed in 2001 to return to his love of the theatre. Before departing Time Inc. he worked closely with senior management to establish OUT@TimeInc, the recipient of a 2003 GLAAD Fairness Award. As Programming Chair, he would produce and direct company-wide efforts promoting diversity and equality throughout the workplace.

Robert began his theatrical career as a child actor, performing on TV and in school and regional productions. In 1956, at the age of nine, he appeared in "The King and I" with Constance Carpenter. At 13, he entered Bishop Neumann High School in Philadelphia, and founded, edited and published, the still thriving theatre publication, the Neumann Gazette. He attended the Parsons School of Design in New York City, and in 1967 was awarded the June Francis Award for outstanding achievement in design.

Committed to producing thought-provoking theatrical experiences and quality entertainment, Robert continues to explore the New York landscape and beyond for brave new voices, creative expression, and opportunities and properties consistent with his mission statement. Producer, investor, advisor and mentor, he is particularly proud of his work with emerging talent, producers, playwrights and creatives, on both sides of the Atlantic.
