He whistles while he works (and races).
Rob is a prolific whistler. However, his talents don't end there. He's also driven cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he clocked in at 157 miles per hour. He races on foot, too. Rob won in his division for the Ohio Triple-T, one of the most challenging triathlons in the U.S. When he's not whistling or racing, Rob likes to climb mountains and do martial arts.
Even though he is an adrenaline junkie, Rob's main priorities are his family and work. He's married to his high school sweetheart, and they have four children. At work, he enjoys offering our clients chief information security officer (CISO) and chief information officer (CIO) advisory services. Keep whistling along, Rob.
