Rob worked for several years in small animation studios. Because Disney had recently closed their Florida-based animation studios and some artists chose to stay and work in Orlando, Rob found himself working "alongside quite possibly the most talented artists I've ever known, right there in those small studios. Their influence proved invaluable." In 2008, Rob earned a role at the well-respected EA Sports Tiburon (Electronic Arts) as a character artist where he created human likenesses for Madden and NCAA Football games - combining his love for art, gaming, and football.
