Rob joined the studio in 1997 and plays a major role in managing the company’s operations. Rob, along with Ben and Richard, became a partner in 2007, and together they have overseen the firm’s transition to its new identity as WORKSBUREAU. Rob brings to his role over twenty years of experience in the profession of architecture and a passion for the craft of building and the art of finding creative solutions to complex problems.
Rob was raised in New Orleans, Louisiana and received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Louisiana State University in 1993. At graduation, Rob received the AIA Henry Adams Certificate and the Architectural Technology Award for Excellence. Before settling in Phoenix, Rob worked as project manager and lead designer on a number of complex residential and industrial projects throughout the state of Alaska. His experience in design and construction of work in climatic extremes has given him a unique perspective on the technical challenges of working in varied geographical locations.
Rob has also helped guide the firm’s expansion into international markets—handling much of the logistics of our overseas and other remotely-located work. He serves as principal-in-charge for many of the studio’s commercial projects and continues to oversee the firm’s operational and financial management, including contract negotiations, quality assurance, and business planning.
Rob is a registered architect in the States of Arizona and Colorado and is a member of the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. Outside the office, Rob enjoys spending time with his family and pursuing recreational activities such as hiking and biking. He regularly volunteers his services within his local community, including coaching his boys in flag football and contributing time to the American Institute of Architects.
