Operations Consultant
Rob has provided operational leadership and support for Writopia Lab’s diverse and growing programs since 2010, first through its regional office in Westchester, NY, and then nationally. He has served as one of the directors for Writopia Lab’s summer sleepaway camp, and has led Writopia Lab’s years-long partnership with the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, organizing the adjudication of thousands of teen writers across multiple affiliate regions and the presentation of annual awards ceremonies to celebrate their writing. Prior to Writopia Lab, Rob spent fourteen years in the film and television industry, employed in every aspect of locations department work on movies, TV shows, and commercials—including a few worth remembering (Enchanted, Chappelle’s Show, and Revolutionary Road) and more than a few that remain forgettable. Despite having seen how that sausage gets made, he still loves the art form. A native of North Dakota, Rob received his arts education from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia.
