Currently a devoted PE teacher, he merges evidence-based strength and conditioning with spiritual life coaching to help individuals flourish—physically, mentally, and emotionally—both online and in-person.
Rob’s past struggle with depression, anxiety, and self-harm thoughts propelled him on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Guided by therapy, meditation, and spiritual mentorship, he unearthed purpose and resilience, culminating in his book, Dying to Love. This transformation shapes his empathetic coaching style, which has impacted celebrities, professional athletes, and hundreds of clients worldwide. His work has garnered recognition in WIRED Magazine. Rob’s diverse background includes serving as a founding trainer and Head of Coaching Operations for a human coaching app—building a new product for an existing 20-million-user platform—and directing athletics at Velocity Sports Performance. He also has roots in stand-up comedy, performing at festivals and earning the title of NYC’s Best Young Comedian—an experience that infuses his coaching with humor and authenticity.
Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Rob channels his passion for community engagement through Backyard PE, bringing fun, structured activities directly to you—be it a birthday party, PTA social, block party, or summer camp. With an emphasis on adaptive PE, he ensures children of all abilities can participate safely and joyfully in every game and relay.
