About Me
Hi, I'm Robert.
I'm an Instructional Designer and Learning and Development Specialist.
I love designing aesthetically compelling learning experiences that are engaging and interactive while aligning with business goals and aspirations.
My extensive skill set and love for life long learning has proven to be transferable into the instructional design world.
I have always had a love for learning and being able to use my knowledge and creativity to help teach others. As an educator for the past twenty years, I have been designing instructional opportunities for diverse learners.
I have utilized instructional design methodologies to create Instructor Led Training (ILT), Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT), blended learning and eLearning courses. I have years of experience planning and developing meaningful learning experiences to help improve instructional outcomes.
My focus is on providing learning experiences that engage learners and enhances their performance and impact. I understand that every learner is different, and I strive to create materials that cater to all learning styles and preferences. I would love the opportunity to help your organization meet their learning goals.

My Interests
In my free time I have a passion for the outdoors, adventure and traveling. My bucket list is to eventually visit all 7 continents. My happy place is being at the beach. It is where I feel most alive and at peace. I have been a life-long athlete and played both volleyball and tennis at the collegiate level. I am also an avid Scuba Diver, have run 2 NYC Marathons (so far) and am in the process of training for my first Iron Man. My new found love for Pickleball also keeps me very active and busy lately. I have always had a love for health and fitness, so the gym and other forms of exercise are extremely important to me. Helping people is another passion of mine and I've gotten great pleasure at helping hundreds of clients reach their goals through proper nutrition and fitness as a Health and Wellness Coach for the past 8 years. When I am not busy being active, I love spending quality time with family or my dog, exploring new restaurants, parks or wineries or spending time lounging at home with a good movie. Life is short and never guaranteed and I believe in living it to the fullest!
