Rob's Story
Life
I live in Snoqualmie, and love it. I work for Farmers Insurance in Bellevue, and it's a great job. I'm not playing drums professionally anymore, but I still play regularly. I did do a lot of session work, but never achieved fame as a drummer. It's ok, though. I'm married, and have 3 kids. My wife is from Japan, and I've learned to speak Japanese, although my skills are definitely lacking. My kids are growing WAY too fast, as Zach is 18, Kaiya is 16, and Tiana is 15. My entire life is blessed.... really. I love life, and I live it every day. Things are good. Write me.
College
I attended Concordia College after high school, and spent the majority of my time enjoying the finer things.... girls, girls, and more girls. I didn't graduate, as I ran out of money, but found myself looking to do something far greater than college anyway.
Workplace
I work for Farmers Insurance in Bellevue, Wa. I love my job. I would have NEVER thought I'd end up here, yet here I am, and it's a great place to be.
When I left high school, I was like every other kid. Basically, going from restaurant to restaurant, and other low income/pain in the ass jobs. I joined the Navy in 1987, and my life was changed abruptly, as you can imagine. I got out in 1994, and started managing a video store, amongst other things. I finally found my calling in 2002, and left to pursue my present career. While I was doing all these other jobs, I was pursuing my career in music, and did very well for never getting famous. I made decent money, and I played on a LOT of records, for everyone to no-one. ...Expand for more
It was fun, and I'm glad I did it. Here I am now, though, and ready to make the best of my life, and career. Don't worry. I won't solicit you for insurance, but if you ever need anything, I'm your guy. ;)
Military
I served in the US Navy from July 1987 to December 1994. It was 7 years too long. Boot camp was a LOT of fun, honestly. I loved the challenge, and all the commitment required. There's something about having to do a lot of crazy things under duress. It just triggers the work ethic implanted in me. After boot camp, I started out my military career on submarines. I served aboard one sub only. The USS Andrew Jackson , SSBN 619. The very first sub to fire the A6 nuclear missile, way back in 1964. John Walker, who in the late 80's would sell tons of military secrets to the Soviets, was the first masterchief aboard the sub. That was kind of interesting. Life was very odd on a sub. I wasn't overly tall for it, but I still hit my head on things. It's mostly a noisy, diesel smelling environment that gets old, and doesn't have any natural light. I made great friends though, and miss them profoundly. I often wonder what happened to those guys. I transferred out of subs in 1989, and moved to Norfolk, VA, and went to music school, where I served the remainder of my time in the US Navy Band. I was in their protocol combo, playing all over the world. How many guys can say they've been to Iceland? ;) I transferred out to Seattle in 1993, and got out in 94, as the Navy was cutting back on its ranks. It wasn't a hard decision to get out, but I miss my friends.
