He graduated from Boston University, majoring in broadcasting and film from the College of Communication. He continued his education, receiving his master's of education in instructional design from the University of Massachusetts.
Robert worked at MIT for over 16 years in the video-satellite communications department. In recent years, he had done independent instructional design for private business and learning organizations. His last project was an art restoration assignment for the Museum of Fine Arts in Milwaukee, Wis.

Rob had a black belt in Tai Kwan Do, played men's softball, scuba dived, loved the piano and read constantly.

He will be missed by his uncles and aunts, cousins and all the wonderful friends he made during his life.
