Personally, Rob lives in Roswell, GA with his wife and three kids, but originally grew up in Cleveland and also lived in downtown Chicago for a few years. These days, he spends most of his weekends at soccer fields and basketball courts. The Cleveland background has made him an avid and painfully loyal Ohio sports fan. He also enjoys spending time on a lake or camping next to one to recharge.
