Before serving this church, he served as Founding Pastor of Vintage Church in New Orleans and Pittsburgh, Send City Missionary for Send Pittsburgh, and the Chaplain for the New Orleans Saints.
Read MoreAlthough his family is from South Africa, Rob was born and raised in New Orleans and this is where he met Jesus. Upon moving to the Carolinas for high school and college, he answered the call to ministry and married his high school sweetheart, Annabeth. Rob played basketball and graduated from North Greenville University. Together, they returned to New Orleans for seminary and to serve the city before and after Hurricane Katrina. In New Orleans, they welcomed four beautiful children into this world: Bolt, Mack, Birk, and McCall. After Hurricane Katrina, Rob planted Vintage Church which has reached hundreds for Jesus and he also became the New Orleans Saints Chaplain. After a decade of ministry, the Lord called Rob to plant another Vintage Church in Pittsburgh and serve as the Send City Missionary. Through this mission, Vintage became a multiplying church leading the network to grow from 4 to 15 churches. As Rob was called to a new ministry in Charlotte in 2023, he merged Vintage Church with Travelers Church, one of their church plants in the city.
Rob has been extremely thankful to serve the Kingdom of God in these roles. He has a Masters of Divinity and a Doctorate of Ministry. He loves to travel, play golf and basketball, fly fish, and hang with his family and close friends.
