Rob was born in Los Angeles and currently resides in Lake Arrowhead, California. He is the Creator and Founder of the The Tumbling Tumbleweeds.

Rob wears many hats within his role as leader of The Tumbling Tumbleweeds in which he sings, performs and also co-writes songs for the group with band members Cade, Chris and R.J.  Together they have also arranged and co-produced the group’s two albums.  Rob is also an active member of the Western Music Association attending the monthly meetings and jam sessions that take place at the Autry National Center and conducting Performance Techniques Workshops for the WMA Youth Chapter.

Like the Western Music Association, Rob is fiercely dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of Western Music and the American West.  Half Apache and with strong hereditary roots in the Southwest, Rob was raised with a love of the land and an appreciation of all the things that make us uniquely American.

His family recently bought back the old family homestead in Southern New Mexico where his Great, Great French Canadian Grandfather settled with his Chiricahua Apache wife after fighting in the Indian Wars.  He takes frequent trips back there where his spirit is refreshed by the land of his ancestors and the sweeping majesty of the natural wonder that is New Mexico.  Rob was first introduced to the music of the Sons of the Pioneers by his folks who grew up with the old silver screen cowboys of the 30's , 40's and 50's.  It has long been a dream of Rob's to bring this music to life and he feels truly blessed to have found three such talented men who share his love of this music.
