Robby is a Conservation Specialist at Operation Fresh Start in Madison, WI where he works with young adults on building their skills and preparedness for a career in conservation. He strives to bring joy to everything he does, whether it’s in or out of his professional life. As a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist of 20+ years, he’s been in multiple bands and carries a uniquely singular style in his pursuits that leaves a lasting positivity and levity whether he’s on the stage or catching up with family and friends.

In this conversation, Robby and I sit down and talk about love, Mel Gibson, teenage antics, and the healing powers of playing music with others.
