At Archbishop McNicholas High School, Robert was a student and an athlete. He then attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, earning a B.S. in chemistry. Subsequently, he was awarded a scholarship to Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York and it was there he obtained an M.S. in chemistry.

After teaching chemistry for several years at Marimont High School, Robert worked for the Environmental Protection Agency in Cincinnati.

After his retirement, he shocked his wife by announcing his intention to become an artist. He accomplished this with his usual talent and dedication. He very much enjoyed his association with the Fort Wayne Art Guild.
