Rob is an ARIA charting songwriter, actor (Neighbours, Blue Heelers) and musician who toured with folk music legend, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and once accidentally stole £50 off Dennis Hopper. A former Nashville-based writer, he spent five years on Music Row crafting hits for artists including Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert at Starstruck Entertainment. 

 

After a near-death experience and two years of physical rehab, he took a leap of faith and pursued his first love, filmmaking—having already been RMIT’s youngest ever Prof. Screenwriting admission.


 

He quickly gained traction by landing a paid writing gig on an Aussie road movie reimagining The Wizard of Oz. He developed a Beatles time-travel movie for Sony, and created a drama series about his father and a group of Ford rebels, now a co-production with Emmy Award-winning Northern Pictures. In 2024, he was shortlisted for the AWG Emerging Writer’s Award, and his directing work has screened as part of the Flickerfest 2025 national tour.

​

Rob is currently developing his original drama series with Matt Cameron and Kate Mulvany, along with a feature film for producer Mark Gooder from Cornerstone Film, and has multiple short films screening at St Kilda Festival, and served as executive producer on How to Talk Australians (2026).
