He appeared on countless stages as a side man with Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepson, Michael Buble, and Tom Jones among others. 

Rob played  for many years as a member of Canadian hard rock legend Lee Aaron's band, boy band Soul Decision, Vancouver Island's own Vince Vaccaro, and the Vancouver institution Soulstream whose reign at Bar None for over a decade is one of the great pieces of history of the Vancouver music scene

His compositions have been featured on video games such as “The Simpson’s Hit and Run” in which he served as session guitarist and bandleader. His composing is featured on television shows such as “The L-Word” and "The Dead Zone" 

In 2010 Rob started up his own event band – Side One which would forever change the course of his career from hired gun guitarist, to multi-million dollar a year entrepreneur as Side One expanded from Vancouver to Calgary, Toronto, and Seattle employing hundreds of musicians and techs and doing close to 300 events a year for some of the biggest companies and events in the world.

Hey, friends welcome back to the masterclass series on Everybody Speaks Music. Today I'll be kicking off a new format called 10 Questions With..., where you'll get to hear answers from a number of teachers in my school and in our local community here in Vancouver. I'm going to kick things off by answering these questions that I wrote to my team, and want to get some of their feedback on various instruments, struggles, and some of the victories they've had. And I hope that you hear something in the episodes that resonates with you.
