As the youngest of six siblings, Rob made the bold decision to relocate to Vancouver in 1997, driven by his passion for a career in film. Between 1998 and 2000, he devoted himself to writing and directing five short films that premiered at local Vancouver venues, gradually establishing himself within the acting community.
In 2001, Rob joined Creepy Six Films, an independent horror film company, as a producer. This collaboration led to the creation of their first feature-length film, Carmilla, which garnered global distribution shortly after its completion in 2004. Two more feature films followed suit, solidifying Rob's position within the industry.
By the end of 2004, Rob refocused his attention on acting, and his hard work, timing, and luck paid off as he averaged an impressive 30 film projects, both independent and larger-budgeted, over the next two years. Some of this work has been completed and continues to receive rave reviews and accolades as it circulates through the festival circuit, with others on the verge of completion.
In the film Terminus, directed by Trevor Cawood, Rob plays a man stalked by an eight-foot stone creature, which has been playing globally and collecting awards, including being deemed Canada's top ten in 2007. His subsequent film, The Porcelain Man, directed by Mark Ratzlaff, garnered two Leo awards in 2008 as it continued its festival run.
In September 2008, the feature film When Life Was Good, directed by Terry Miles, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, receiving widespread acclaim and unanimous love from the audience for its independent project. Currently, Rob is filming a noir-style thriller, The Hard Cut, in which he takes on the lead detective role and performs his own stunts and fight sequences.
