Robb is not only a very professional trainer in multimedia subjects he is also a visionary that translates his ideas into money-spinning strategy.
On top he is much liked by his students and colleagues for putting things across to them in a patient, yet convincing way.

I worked with Robb when I was at the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, setting up training events across the state.
Robb is an excellent trainer. He meets participants exactly where they are, with the skills they possess, and with the equipment they have. He can work with a roomful of people who are all in different stages of development, and somehow make it all come out very well.
