He graduated from Weber High School in 1974 and from Weber State College in 1977 with an Associate of Applied Science.

He began working at Cross Western Wear in 1972 until its' closing. He began as a saddle makers apprentice and worked his way to be the best master saddle maker-period. After the store closing he continued his mastery out of his home.

In his youth, he enjoyed the competition of rodeos to no benefit of his own body.

Robert has friended every cowboy in the state and ya'll know who we are talking about. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with friends and family. He did the best he could do to live by Roy's rule unless he was being Leonard Slye.

Those lucky enough to cross his path and ride the same trail know what a great person he was and that the admiration and respect was mutual.
