Born in North Walsham, England in 1976, Rob attended a film-making
course at the University of Salford, during which he began acting in
short films, largely to help out fellow directors.
After graduating, Rob abandoned his initial plans for a career in
television production in favour of a steady day job to support his
aspirations as a rock drummer. He performed in a number of successful
bands in his local area, releasing a few records in the process.
Now semi-retired from music, Rob works in local government,
occasionally acts, and writes regularly on horror and exploitation
cinema.
