Returned to attend college at East Tennessee State University earning a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology in 1991. Worked in the Social Services field during the 1990's while earning his Master's Degree in History from East Tennessee State University in 2001. Moved to Huntsville, Alabama in 2002 and then to New Orleans in 2003 where he still resides. Robert made his television debut as an extra (Doctor) on Pour que la vie continue (2004) which was Christopher Reeves' final project before his untimely death in 2004. Robert then appeared again as an extra (Doctor) in the pilot for the short-lived F/X series, Thief: Pilot (2006). Health issues forced Robert to suspend his background extra work until 2010 when he was able to resume his passion. Robert wrote his Master's Thesis on the space program, "Wernher von Braun and the German Rocket Team in America," and works as a volunteer in the Curatorial Department at the National World War II Museum located in New Orleans. His knowledge of 20th Century history allows Robert to consult as a historian on projects set during World War II and the Cold War Era. Show less «
