At an early age Robert was heavily influenced by the character and professionalism of a wrestling coach who had been in the Marines. Robert decided to follow in his mentors footsteps and build a foundational stepping stone for his life. He learned quickly about the merits of hard work, being promoted to the rank of Sergeant at 19, one of the youngest in the Marine Corps, and Honcho2Uniform ( his call sign) effectively led his men over the next few years through operations all over the world. He assembled great teams, looked at the long term goals of the assignment and selected the proper tools and tactics to deploy-the same thing he does in business every day.
 
After being honorably discharged he moved to Orlando and traded in his cammies for a suit. He began his professional career as a recruiter for a technology and marketing staffing firm, and quickly made a name for himself. An early adopter of social media, he proved it as an effective marketing tool in the recruiting business. He founded and still runs the Orlando Marketing Executives Group (Omega) through LinkedIn.
He worked his way up to be a partner in an international marketing and IT consulting firm-recommending marketing strategies that integrated technology, marketing, and social media and also helping build the teams to provision that strategy. Along the way he also worked as a partner in a software company, acted as the Chief Marketing Officer for a digital agency, worked in destination management marketing for a travel and tourism company  and helped small, mid-sized business,and non-profits grow by providing recommendations that helped them build revenue and relationships. 

 In 2011, Robert founded PaperBoat Media. His goal was to create a Digital Agency that understood their client’s business goals and offer a customized solution that was affordable, high quality, and most of all effective.
