Mr. E grew up in North County, San Diego. Robin received a football scholarship to Stanford University, where he also discovered his love for film. He spent 30 years working in the entertainment industry as a producer, director, editor, and cinematographer, and earned his MFA from the American Film Institute in 1996.
In 2010, Robin moved from Santa Monica, California to Bellevue, Idaho. Since then, he has shifted his focus to working with children and education. Over the last 15 years, he has served as a Cub Scout Den leader, football coach, ski instructor, full-time teacher, and substitute teacher. Robin is excited to be a part of the team at Syringa Mountain School and is currently pursuing his K–8 teaching license.
When not teaching, you can find Robin walking his dog, Sunshine, riding his gravel bike, or snowboarding on Baldy.
Fun Fact: Before becoming a beloved teacher, Robin was nearly trampled by a silverback gorilla in Uganda—all in a day’s work filming for the Travel Channel! From dodging sniper fire in Sarajevo to testing shark-proof suits in the Caribbean, his camera has been on some wild rides. Now, he’s channeling all that adventure into the classroom at Syringa Mountain School!
