From his early days as a deck boy prowling the waters of the world, on ships of dubious safety and cleanliness, he worked his way up to Captain by 29 years old. Captain Rob has always attracted trouble and adventure!

​

Rob was away at sea for stints of 6 months or more at a time. During this he used to write and draw picture books of his travels for his two young daughters.

 

"When the Ship Hits the Fan" is his first book of short stories released in July 2020 and this is just a short sample of the fun and shenanigans he has enjoyed in a long, salty sea career.

​

While he has "swallowed the anchor", Rob enjoys a semi-quiet life with a bunch of high performance motorcycles on a farm in Victoria surrounded by rolling hills, wildlife, menagerie of animals and a variety of broken down racecars. 

​

He lists his occupation now as "stunt man".
