"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Hi I’m Rob
Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, I am a globally recognized resilience expert, business executive, and transformational speaker. I served over 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, where I led elite protection teams for top Department of Defense officials—including the U.S. Air Force's highest-ranking Generals and the Commanders of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
My transition to the private sector led me to the role of Business Executive at RISARC Consulting. In this position, I lead national initiatives in Artificial Intelligence, working to build strategic partnerships and drive growth by integrating cutting-edge innovation with the timeless power of authentic human connection.
My unique approach combines military precision with human-centered awareness, empowering individuals and organizations to thrive in high-pressure environments. Whether in boardrooms or on stage, my impact extends into executive coaching and workshop facilitation for a broad spectrum of organizations—from Fortune 500 companies to emerging startups and nonprofit organizations—all grounded in my mission to help people feel safe, be heard, and live fully.
