After a series of corporate buyouts, Rob joined Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette in 2000, which was ultimately acquired by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC.

Rob is active in the community currently as a Director of the Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation since 1999, served three terms on the Board of Trustees of McDonogh School from 1999 to 2022, and was the Chair of the Investment Committee for McDonogh School’s endowment from 2000 to 2022.
