In his time in Edmonton, Rob has acted as an owners’ representative for various construction projects. His experience in overseeing the design and construction of warehouses in Edmonton is an asset to the Jerry Forbes Centre.

He was the 2007 recipient of the Gary Draeger Memorial Award, for outstanding long term volunteer service to 630 CHED Santas Anonymous. Rob started volunteering with 630 CHED Santas Anonymous because he believed that the welfare of children is important for the development of a strong community. He is participating in the Policy committee because he believes the development of partnerships in our new facility will allow all organizations to better serve the city of Edmonton.
