"During my time as Senior Director of Original Programming at Studio TEN, I had the great pleasure of working with Robert on two seasons of the show Ignition. Over the course of one year, Robert’s passion,determination and creative vision transformed Ignition. His efforts not only inspired those around him but incentivized me to bring him even better material.
​
When Robert came on board, he did not disappoint. Despite the incredibly demanding schedule, Robert was able to deliver a product that felt new and inspired on time, every time. Though his vision for the show almost always aligned with my own, on the rare occasion that we disagreed creatively, Robert never failed to clearly communicate his perspective. He puts an enormous amount of himself into his work which can be seen in the product. That said, he is able to take direction extremely well. In my experience, it is rare to find an editor that is both passionate about the product and receptive to constructive criticism. Robert manages to be both and is a true professional in every sense of the word.
Robert is constantly looking to expand his abilities. The variety in his body of work is evidence
of his determination to try new things. From animation to graphic design and his experience
with various non-linear editing systems, Robert has mastered the tools necessary to bring his
visions to life."
