Overview

Rob guides clients through intricate real estate & development projects.

With a background in software engineering, Rob was drawn to the legal field by the intelligence and drive of the attorneys he encountered. He enrolled in law school at Emory University, where he was particularly intrigued by transactional law, appreciating its collaborative nature where every attorney works towards a common goal.

In addition to a summer associateship at Husch Blackwell, Rob interned as a law student in the legal office of a global cybersecurity company, where he honed his understanding of client needs. Recognizing that clients often know their objectives but might struggle with the roadmap, Rob harnesses his interpersonal skills to bridge this gap. His prior experience in the software industry has also left its mark: having collaborated with engineers, Rob cultivated the skill of liaising between technical teams and leadership, ensuring clear communication and project efficiency.

Rob’s strong interest in real estate and development stems from witnessing global investments pour into his home state and city. At Husch Blackwell, he focuses primarily on real estate transactions, but he also enjoys delving into various facets of transactional law, especially corporate transactions. Known for his strong work ethic, outstanding people skills, and a genuine eagerness to broaden his legal horizons, Rob is an asset to any project he undertakes.

Outside the Office

Rob enjoys exercise, the outdoors, and time with family.

Already a weightlifter, he’s trying to learn to love running, and he can often be found swimming with his dog, Calvin, or chasing him around Austin’s parks. Rob has also recently taken up golf: he admits he’s terrible at it but loves that it’s an outdoor activity he can enjoy with friends. Rob is also a fan of paddleboarding, swimming in Austin’s lake, or hiking through the greenbelt.

Rob prioritizes being near his family and is thrilled to be back in Austin, where both his brother and parents live. Sundays usually include a family meal and FaceTime with his sister, who lives in Utah.

Rob is also a world traveler who especially enjoys exploring Europe. He celebrated his law school graduation with a trip to Greece and Sicily, and Norway and Switzerland are next on his list.
