Robert seamlessly blends his roles as a dedicated deputy sheriff and passionate musician, creating a unique harmony between duty and artistry. His musical journey began at 15 with a guitar in hand, flourishing through college performances at Appalachian State University. Since 2016, Robert has lit up venues across North Carolina, both solo and with his band Real Rowdy, sharing stages with country music stars such as Luke Combs and Blackberry Smoke. A performance at the Buccaneer Music Hall in 2017 led him to his wife, Christian, and in 2021 they welcomed their daughter, Mary Blake, who's already showing signs of inheriting her father's musical talents. Through it all, Robert continues to pour his heart into his music, supported by his loving family who cheer him on at every performance.
