Rob was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he was raised hearing the Gospel in Sunday school. When his family fell away, he turned to Christ at the age of 19, where he met Shelley at a small prayer group and they married that year. As a writer at Rutgers University, then a carpenter and plumber, Rob’s background provided his six children, (one adopted from Russia), a diverse and widely traveled life; all performing on his Donut Man videos. Now with sixteen grandchildren, these proud grandparents continue to savor each unique soul, praying that they follow Christ and obey His call. His concert and production ministry continues to bless families world-wide.
