At age 11, Robert begged his parents to take him to an agency open call 40 miles from home in San Francisco. At 12, he booked his first SAG regional commercial at his first audition. School became the focus shortly after, but the need to create inspiring projects never went away, so at 20 he left his fancy, private art college and enrolled at The Meisner Technique Studio. There he studied intensively with founder and director Jim Jarrett and was the youngest of his graduating class. After graduating from The Studio, he immediately went to work, quickly finding agency representation again and booking everything from commercials to roles on television shows. He even did a touring production where he performed for ten thousand kids a week, educating them about bullying and its harmful consequences.

After 2 years of working all around the Bay Area, he realized that the San Francisco market had very limited professional work. Now recently settled in Los Angeles, Robert has already been successfully booking small roles for commercials and film, including a PSA for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and thesis film for a student at Loyola Marymount University.
