A lifelong Vermont resident, Rob was born in Montpelier and graduated from U-32 High School. He put down roots in Montpelier in 2024, where he continues to live and serve his community today.
Eight years in the Vermont House taught Rob one thing clearly: when government removes choices, Vermonters lose. Now he's returning to the legislature—not just to serve, but to restore the power of decision-making back to the people of Washington County.
