A New England kid, Rob landed an unpaid radio internship at only 17 and worked his way up from there, hosting every shift along the way. He’s also stepped into plenty of off-air roles, including music director, program director, and operations manager. The highlight of it all? Meeting and chatting with Robert Plant.

Fittingly, Led Zeppelin tops his list of favorites, along with Pink Floyd, Ozzy Osbourne, and Metallica. His first concert, though, was Boyz II Men and Montell Jordan, and the one song he never skips is Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

At home, Rob and Melissa have two daughters, Kaitlynn and Kallie, plus two Shih Tzus named Bear and Leo. He loves to cook, and the rest of his free time goes to his unofficial second job: being a personal Uber driver and ATM for his girls.
