Rob has written ARIA chart hitting songs, acted in Aussie TV shows like Neighbours and Blue Heelers, toured with folk music legend, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and once he accidentally stole fifty pounds off Dennis Hopper. After representing Australia at the Americana Festival Nashville in 2014, he signed up for 5 years writing hits on Music Row for the likes of Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert at Starstruck Entertainment, Nashville. After a near-death experience in 2018, which saw him in physical rehab for almost two years, he decided to take a leap of faith and pursue his original love, movies, and studied Prof. Screenwriting at RMIT, wiped out his overheads and learned how to write. 
 

Early on he scored a paid writing gig on an Aussie road-movie remake of The Wizard of Oz, he wrote a Beatles time-travel movie for Sony and cornered Jason Byrne and Tony Rogers to pitch a story about his Dad and some Ford rebels who made history. Since then he’s also sold a script about the Tamworth country music festival and in 2024 he was Shortlisted for the Australian Writer’s Guild ‘Emerging Writer’s Award’. In 2024, he also started TB Films with Phil Spencer and Tony Rogers, he directed his first short film and was an Executive Producer on the feature film, How To Talk Australian’s, directed by Tony Rogers and Produced by Jason Byrne.
