About Robert

Robert has an extensive background in the golf business including as a college player at Kenyon College in Ohio. He has been a professional caddy for more than 15 years, caddying at clubs including Bel Air Country Club, The Riviera Country Club, Lakeside Golf Club, and Pebble Beach Golf Links.   He served as Tournament Director for Golf on Earth Event Services, overseeing events with clients such as the Academy of Television Foundation, Oscar De La Hoya Foundation, Merkin Children’s Charities, Screen Actors Guild Foundation and the American Film Institute among others.

Robert joined Independent Events & Media as a tournament consultant in 2013.  He manages golf committees, sponsor & golf relations,  and coordinates club details.   Along with coordinating for signage, and all other pre-event logistics, he oversees registration, golf course set-up, and tournament play.

Robert believes that golf is a true test of a person’s character and values.  It is the one sport that tells you almost everything you need to know about a person in a very short time.  It involves the honor system, respect for your opponent and the environment around you.   He loves how refreshing golf can be, especially in LA, where you can spend the day in a beautiful setting,  forget about the hustle & bustle around you and just hang out with friends, tell stories, and get some exercise at the same time.

A lover of all sports, he is an avid Chicago sports fan growing up in Evanston, IL, home of Northwestern University.  If he’s not playing sports, you can find Robert at the beach in Santa Monica with his wife Kristen and son Jackson.
