At 38 years of age, Rob has just returned to Kew for his second stint on Tuba, this time on BBb. Having begun playing music at the age of 12 he tried several instruments including French Horn, Tenor Horn, Euphonium, Baritone and EEb before finding his way to his beloved BBb. Throughout this time Rob has been a member of several bands including Heidelberg Band (1978-1980), Strathfieldsaye Municipal Band (1981-1999), Kew Band (2000), Moreland-Brunswick (2001-2003) and back to Kew Band (2004-?).

His other hobbies include collecting old race cars and cars in general, automobilia, stamps, coins and comics. Basically, collecting stuff! Rob says he is not interested in the solo side of playing and prefers only to be a member of a band working as a team.
