Robert was born in Houston, Texas in August, 1962. Graduating High
School in 1980, Robert went from job to job, waiting tables to
construction. Always an avid surfer, he landed a job in a coastal
resort in Mexico, working for several months as a Bartender. After
returning to the United States, he joined the U.S. Army where he
remained for 6 years. Upon discharge, he went to work in the oil
fields. He worked 12 hour days, seven days a week, on oil rigs all over
Texas, South Dakota, North Dakota, 7 days on 7 days off. On his days
off he attended acting workshops and seminars to hone his craft.
While employed on various South Texas ranches, Robert became the
epitome' of the Texas Cowboy, excelling at all aspects of ranching,
from cutting livestock, branding, and vaccinations. It is while
ranching that he discovered his talent for the quick-draw with a
western-style revolver. He picked up the art from an old cowboy, known
only as Coyote Joe.
During the early 1990s, he got the acxting bug, and joined a local
Theatre troup, performing on stage as well as reenacting western scenes
at local Baseball games and fairgrounds. His first feature film, "Rage
Against The Madness", was shot in Vancouver, B.C., and Robert had to
call on his Military experience to portray the role of Marine Corps
Captain Mac McDonald. Upon completion of the film, he returned to Texas
stages, landing lead roles in plays such as "You Can't Take It With
You", and a variety of short films playing a range of Law Enforcement
Characters from a western Sheriff to modern-day big city Detectives.
When Robert is not acting, you can still find him surfing, scuba diving
the South Texas Gulf Coast, attending acting workshops and classes in
Austin or working on his ranch in Sullivan City, Texas.
