Meet Rob…

Blue heart divider

Rob was born and raised in Chicago and its suburbs. He gained his love for photography from his father, who was a photographer in the Signal Corps during the Korean War and World War II. Following in his father’s footsteps,  Rob's photographic journey started with concert and sports photography, which included being published in magazines such as Sports Illustrated and ESPN along with numerous college sports journals. Rob is a people person who loves interacting with people during staged or candid photo shoots. Once Rob started photographing police K9s, his love for photographing all types of animals flourished.

Growing up, Rob had three main loves: being a firefighter, working in restaurants and cooking and technology. Technology is what brought Rob out to California and specifically Silicon Valley. Over the span of 30+ years, Rob has worked on and managed many technologies from companies including Apple, Motorola, Palm and eBay. Rob's love for animals, especially dogs, came late in life as he did not having any pets growing up. After he got his first rescue, a German Shepherd named Laci, his love of animals exploded! Thanks to Rob's German Shepherd Max, he found the love of his life while attending a local German Shepherd meet-up group. Our love for dogs turned into marriage, and we enjoy life with three Standard Poodles and Max the German Shepherd. After leaving the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley, we have settled down in beautiful Pismo Beach and San Diego.
