PUBLIC RELATIONS

Public relations is about having relationships with stakeholders. It is imperative to protect your brand, which is who you are, what you do, and how well you do it.

 

Rob entered mass media as the Production Manager for a regional newspaper, later functioning as the Public Affairs Liason for the New Jersey Salvation Army's Emergency Disaster Services. He attended Syracuse University College of Law for a year, where he gained a greater understanding of various aspects of the U.S. legal system, including First Amendment principles, in particular, the area of Media Law.

 

He enrolled into the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and secured a Master of Public Relations with a focus on crisis communication. Currently, he is a Public Affairs Supervisor and the External Relations Lead for the American Red Cross' Central and Northern New York Chapter.

ADVENTURER

"Never forget to live."

 

It is the mantra Rob lives by each day as he is a believer in responsibly playing as hard as you work. With that mindset, there is little that he has not set his sights on and few barriers he has worked to cross.

 

You can find him cycling along the beach and kayaking down a river in the summer or snow hiking and traveling to explore different cultures in the winter. He has scuba dived. He has a mountain climbed. He has skydived. He has continuously entered areas most people would flee for the purpose of assisting communities following disasters. Rob continues to set challenges daily, both mentally and physically, to grow to become the best version of himself.
