Robert has recently stated, “I believe that voting
is a core freedom in our society. Voter
suppression tactics, while historically focused on
communities of color, are currently used by the
individuals in positions of power to maintain
power. As a former Naval Officer, I am
particularly sensitive to efforts by the
government to deny citizens their constitutional
right to vote. Our goal, as a state and as a
nation, should be to make it easier for a person
to participate in the election process. As such, I
support and encourage early voting, same day
registration, and additional polling stations to
help Alabama become a leader in this area.” Robert
grew up in Prichard, Alabama, and attended the
United States Naval Academy where he earned a
Bachelor of Science in Political Science, and
later a Master of Science in Leadership and Human
Resource Development from the Naval Postgraduate
School. Robert spent a total of nine years on
active-duty in the United States Navy and
completed overseas deployments in the Asia Pacific
and Arabian Gulf operating areas. After completing
his military service, Robert entered Duke
University’s Fuqua School of Business, earning a
Master of Business Administration. Throughout the
civilian portion of his career, Robert developed a
customer service, direct-marketing, and e-Commerce
core-competency while serving in senior leadership
roles at a number of Fortune 500 Companies. For
the last portion of his corporate career, Robert
served as the General Manager of Global e-Commerce
& Digital at Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., which
develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range
of products and solutions for the life science
research and clinical diagnostic markets.
