Rob brings a rigorously analytical, fiduciary-first mindset to his role as Chief Investment Officer at EdgeRock. He began his career at Ernst & Young, where he audited financial statements for financial services, technology, and biotechnology companies. While not an investing role by title, that experience shaped how Rob thinks about risk, governance, evidence, and accountability—core competencies that translate directly to leading an investment platform in a fiduciary environment.

Rob approaches investing by emphasizing what others often overlook: structural risks, weak assumptions, and narratives unsupported by data. He designs durable investment processes, demands intellectual honesty, and insists on decision-making frameworks that hold up under scrutiny. As a key member of the EdgeRock leadership team, he sets a high bar for judgment and integrity while building teams and systems designed to earn trust over long periods of time.

The portfolio managers Rob most admires are those who combine perspective with humility—investors willing to explore contrarian ideas thoughtfully and learn from mistakes. He works to embed that mindset into the firm’s investment culture, recognizing that sustained success depends less on certainty and more on discipline, curiosity, and continuous learning.

Outside of work, Rob enjoys spending time with his wife, Amy, their two children, and their dog, as well as staying connected with a close circle of friends. He finds the greatest fulfillment in learning—exploring new ideas, asking better questions, and continuing to refine how he thinks about the world.

A Colorado native, Rob returned to the state after growing up in Maryland to pursue graduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Being close to family and rooted in the region continues to be an important part of his life.
