Rob spent most of his childhood and journalism career in the flatlands of Texas before choosing to retire early in Colorado Springs with his artistic wife Jo in 2017. He’s still getting acclimated. One reason they picked the Springs is the astounding beauty of the parks, which Rob thinks exceeds that of many national parks he’s visited.
When not helping with trail work in the Cañon and other city parks, Rob can be found volunteering at the Horticultural Arts Society demonstration gardens in Monument Valley Park or toiling at the endless renovations to the circa 1901 home in the Ivywild neighborhood he inhabits with Jo and their cat. He also finds time for occasional travel, reading and songwriting.
