Colleagues describe him as "I have worked with Rob as a passionate volunteer with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for the past 2 years. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and has as much compassion for raising money for cystic fibrosis as does a parent of a child with CF, like me. Because of his compassionate nature, he is truly dedicated to the cause of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Working with volunteers on a regular basis is tough but Rob has the patience and skill it takes to be a good listener and leader to get the job done. With Rob as the development director at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, it gives me motivation to do fund raising events with him because he makes it so easy to accomplish our goal. I am happy to recommend Rob. I appreciate the opportunity to work with him on a regular basis because as a CF parent, this is a life long job for me. Sincerely, Jane Leeuw Kalamazoo, Michigan" and "Rob was employed as the Development Director at the American Lung Association of the Midland States (ALAMS) during my tenure at the association. Rob worked primarily in the Grand Rapids and Lansing regions on fundraising efforts for the ALAMS. Rob was creative and innovative with regard to planning and implementing large-scale fundraising events, specifically the Asthma Walk and the Stair Climb. Rob faced many challenges planning events in a economic recession, however Rob successfully raised dollars to support the important causes of the ALAMS. Rob is hard-working, thoughtful, inspiring, and compassionate. Not all people are meant to work in the helping field but with Rob's enthusiasm and dedication there is not a doubt in my mind that this is the work he is meant to do."
