Community Connections
Outside of his practice, Rob's ability to seek input from multiple interests and address complex problems is demonstrated by his work as chair of the Board for Helping Children Worldwide ("HCW"), a non-profit with operations in Bo, Sierra Leone. In this capacity, Rob partners with other lawyers, diplomats and doctors, on and off the Board, to help HCW offer residential, child support and foster care programs for victims of forced child labor and operate a hospital and community health programs in the African nation.
After Work
Rob enjoys travel, dining out and live music with his wife, Shelia, a fellow UVA Law grad who is now a fully recovered lawyer turned clinical psychologist. He also enjoys visiting with his adult son, daughter-in-law, and daughter. Rob sings with the band and volunteers at his church (Floris UMC), which he helped build. He is also working toward completing his section hike of the entire Appalachian Trail as part of his 10-year plan to finish in 2025.
