Robert graduated from Northwest High School in 1974 and later from Austin Peay State University in 1978.

Robert's commitment to his work was admirable, as he spent nearly three decades serving Montgomery County through his employment in the Assessor's of Property Office. In his spare time, Robert thoroughly enjoyed reading and expanding his knowledge. He had a green thumb and took great delight in being outdoors, surrounded by nature while planting beautiful flowers. Whether it was a walk or an adventurous hike, he embraced the outdoors wholeheartedly.
