After graduating form CC in 1971, in the great CC tradition, he worked

In January 1996 he climbed Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina, which at 22,934
feet is the highest mountain in the Western and Southern Hemispheres.
Rob entered the insurance field and joined the Equitable companies in
1976 - and has remained with them ever since. his untiring efforts have
led to honors such as Equitable regional Honor Agent in 1992, Million
Dollar Round Table membership every year since 1976, serving as a member
and current president of Equitable's CLU/ChFC Board of Trustees, and serving
as a member and current local chapter president of the National Association
of Life Underwriters.
Just as dedicated to his community, Rob serves or has served on the boards
of the Pueblo Economic Development Committee, the Pueblo Community College
Foundation, the YMCA, the Centennial High School Foundation, the Sangre
de Cristo Arts and Conference Center, Norwest Bank, and the Broadway Theater
League.
But his enthusiastic service to Colorado College is why rob is being honored
here today. The same focused energy that Rob applies to adventure, business
and community is also applied to Colorado College. He has organized and
hosted alumni events in Pueblo, including the Pueblo kickoff for the campaign
of the mid-80's. He has coordinated numerous events for groups of alumni
and incoming students, and recruited students for the College. As a member
of the National Alumni Council, the governing board of the Alumni Association,
he served as chairman of the Alumni Leadership Forum in 1986 and then
as president of the Council from 1987 to 1989. Under his leadership, the
National Alumni Council created the Traveling College, new metro groups,
conducted an extensive review of homecoming and reunions, fostered increased
communications, and experienced considerable growth in the number of career
volunteers. Also while president, and for the following two years, Rob
served as an ex-officio member of CC's Board of Trustees. From 1988 to
1993, he acted as class agent for the Class of 1971, and in 1989 he was
chosen to serve on the Development Leadership Committee of the board.
Since 1990, he has served on the Barnes Society Advisory Committee, a
group of professionals in the field of planned giving who volunteer their
time and expertise as advisors for the College. he has also served on
the All-College Committee on Selective Divestment. Rob is a premier example
of alumni commitment to, and concern and respect for, the liberal arts
tradition.
