Robert first appeared on the scene in 1981 this is where his wonderful journey started he says. His first job in the kitchen was a prep cook and dish washer position for the Union Hotel in Occidental, California, since he was a minor who had lied about his age so that he could work, eat, past the time and try to find a place to stay for the night. Even though he was on the streets he still kept himself in school and played football, ran track and wrestled up to his junior year. Then he moved to the city of Marin County and worked as a cook for the Velvet Turtle, Oggi, The Dock restaurant in Tiburon, The Cliff House & Victoria Station in San Francisco. This was the beginning of a career that would take Robert to many places.
After gaining extensive knowledge from traveling abroad, Robert decided to move to Indianapolis where he began his first entrepreneurial venture in the launch of Touch of Class Catering. This company gained an admiration from the community, catering to a fruitful clientele such as Liz Clair borne, Alyssa Milano, and Indianapolis Colts football team, Damien Center, Blue Cross and Indianapolis Art Museum and the Indy Historical Society.
