BIOGRAPHY

During his decade-long career, Robert's all-court play has seen him enjoy success in singles, doubles, and probably in the rarely seen triples!  In terms of singles, Robert was (and is!) one of the top singles players of his era, ranking in the Top 10 all-time in that category, being one of only two 3.0ers in all-3.0-time to be in the illustrious 35/35 Club for wins in both singles and doubles.  Speaking of doubles, it is no surprise that Robert is in the Top Five in that category, for his leadership on the court has notched 70+ dubs wins in league play.  Moreover, this success as carried over to tournament play where he is one of the top tournament tag-team players ever, as evidenced by his 2020 Akron Open Doubles Championship!  Capping off his fantastic resume is the fact he's not just a great player on the court, but also off it, and is also Top Five all-3.0-time in Captain Wins as well, helping lead his long-time, long-beloved North Ridge Club, even when said club sometimes doesn't even exist thanks to fires, floods, and locusts, to win after win after win!  As only the third 3.0er ever to chalk up 100 3.0 wins, it's no surprise that Robert's decade of 3.0 brilliance has led him to the most brilliant of all the Halls ... the D.F.O. Hall of 3.0 Fame!
