Rob's background in business and passion for health and fitness drew him to his position at TC. After earning his Bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce, he enjoyed a successful career in mortgage banking. During the "dot-com" boom, he served as director of marketing at a successful start-up. In 2006, Rob took leave of the business world and came to TC to pursue his interest in health and human performance. In 2008, he earned a Master's degree in Applied Exercise Physiology. Since graduating from TC, Rob has applied his training as an exercise physiologist to his career in multi-sport coaching, training clients to swim, bike and run for personal health and competition. It is especially gratifying for him to help triathletes improve their swim performance, which for many is the most challenging segment of a triathlon.
