He earned his Juris Doctor from the Charleston School of Law in 2025 and holds a Bachelor of Science in International Relations from the University of Central Florida. His academic and professional interests include constitutional law, public policy, national security, leadership, strategic planning, and international affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert began his Army career in 1989 as an enlisted Soldier and paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, serving in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Commissioned as an officer through ROTC in 1998, he went on to serve multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan during the Global War on Terror before retiring in 2021. His assignments included both senior staff and command positions in U.S. Army Central, 3rd Infantry Division, 82nd Airborne Division, and as a military combat advisor in Afghanistan. Across strategic, operational, and tactical settings, he led diverse organizations, developed training and readiness programs, coordinated multinational efforts, and advised senior leaders in high-stakes environments.
