I've been an acquaintance of Rob since the VA/Andover acquisition, and he's seriously one of the most affable people I've ever met in the industry. Him and Hemos were a great pair of folks to rub elbows with. I still have a business card of mine that he vandalized after he stole a pen off my desk for its sheer comedic perfection.
Guys like him make this kind of work worth it.
