Originally from the San Francisco Bay area, Rob moved to Nashville in 1992. There, he was a founding member of the legendary Bluegrass band Blue Highway, which is still performing with all of its original members. That same year, 1994, Rob won his first Grammy Award for The Great Dobro Sessions with Jerry Douglas and Tut Taylor.
