Robert grew up in Duluth, Georgia and graduated from Duluth High School. He later attended the University of North Georgia. Robert was a wine connoisseur and spent most of his career in wine sales becoming a Certified Sommelier. He moved to Denver, Colorado in his early 20’s, and continued his passions for rock climbing, trout fishing and mountain biking. When he was 25 years old, Robert climbed El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, the Holy Grail of rock climbing. Robert lived in Denver for twenty years where he met his lovely wife and best friend, Alicia. He and Alicia moved back to Atlanta four years ago.

The family has chosen Western Rivers Conservancy for donations as Robert was an avid fly fisherman.
