About Rob

Rob has deep local roots in the area where he and Beverley live in a restored 1910 family home overlooking Philips Harbour and Chedabucto Bay. They also enjoy time at their nearby cottage at ‘Secret Beach’ where his family first settled 200 years ago.
Rob went to school in the Annapolis Valley and spent his summers here on the Lost Shores. He earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering at University of Waterloo where he met Beverley. His career began in recycling followed by operational roles producing most of Canada’s intravenous solutions. He followed this with an assignment in Los Angeles leading the startup of a large human plasma fractionation facility. A bucket list wish to live in San Francisco lead to a senior management role developing and producing advanced biologic medicines.
In 2010, Rob decided it was time to exit the corporate life and return to his roots in Nova Scotia. That gave him more time to enjoy his passions for bicycling, photography and home renovations. Rob holds licenses as a Professional Engineer, Dept of Environment Qualified Professional (QP1) and Transport Canada Drone Pilot.
