Rob is a writer/director native to Texas and local to San Diego and Phoenix. His debut feature The Last Whistle (Vertical Ent., 2019) briefly made him one of the youngest directors on Netflix. His next film, Walkout, will be his debut feature documentary, and is about the 2019 El Paso mass shooting.

In addition to his screenwriting work, Rob is author for two non-fiction books that just secured a publisher, and a novel not yet exposed to the marketplace. Rob has been awarded as a finalist for the Blacklist's Collyer grant, a finalist for BET's Project CRE8, and a quarterfinalist for the Austin Film Fest screenwriting competition. He is a graduate of the directing and screenwriting programs at the University of Southern California.
