Following their wedding they spent a few months in Virginia Beach, Virginia before heading west to Alameda, California where Rob served several tours of duty
aboard the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier. He then was stationed in San Diego, California. Rob received his B.S. degree in criminal justice from California State University, Hayward. Upon his retirement from the Navy after 20 years of exemplary service, Rob transitioned to the property management field.
