  • Robert has been fortunate to interview many chefs in the Nashville area for local magazines, including a James Beard semifinalist.
  • Thanks to a food-focused Instagram account, his photos caught the eye of a producer, and he was a finalist for a food reality competition — though he ultimately didn't end up on the show.
  • Having grown up in Georgia, he is passionate about Southern food and cooks shrimp and grits, fried chicken and mashed potatoes, and a nice hearty gumbo every chance he gets.

One of his favorite traditions is cooking a mean steak frites for his wife and two boys on Sunday evenings. Robert joined Static Media in 2025.
