Rob’s experience with the HLSR began as an elementary youth. First working a carpet booth in the old Astro Hall in the early 1970’s. Later, while on active duty stationed in Houston, Rob realized that the Marine Corps had little presence at HLSR.

Additionally, with District Command support, he facilitated the first Marine Corps Recruiting Booth in Reliant Center during the Show.
