"I'm super psyched to join the Arnette squad and help build their BMX program," Rob states. "It's great to ride for a brand that has such deep roots in action sports, not to mention their products are insane." A NorCal native now living in the mecca of BMX, Greenville, NC, Rob has all the tech tricks on lock. When competing, he loves to go big and throw down ridiculous combos, which always gets the crowds pumped. His passion, dedication and work ethic are unmatched, and at twenty-eight years old he has firmly established himself as one of today's most exciting riders.

"We couldn't be happier to have Rob heading up our BMX team," says Arnette Brand Manager, Joe Freitag. "His skills combined with his overall involvement in the sport and great attitude make him the perfect rider to help take our BMX program to the next level."
