Robert attended Yale University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Art with a concentration in filmmaking. His final project, a 45-minute documentary film, received honors in the department. After college, Robert moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where he worked as part of a two-man video production team for the wetlands and waterfowl conservation group Ducks Unlimited.

A desire to learn more about the narrative side of filmmaking brought Robert to Los Angeles, where he earned his MFA at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. From there, Robert founded Beartooth Productions LLC, and steadily built up a client list, producing corporate and promotional videos, commercials, and music videos. His most ambitious project, however, was a 10-episode competitive reality series entitled “Nock Out,” which aired on NBC Sports in the summer of 2014.

Robert currently serves as a teacher of film production at Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey, with his wife and two children.
