Upon completion, Robert plans to enter the Executive Doctorate Ed.D program at the University of Pennsylvania. Not stopping here, Robert has his eye on presiding over an HBCU and he is aligning himself appropriately. Outside of the classroom and boardroom, Robert is Youth Pastor at First Baptist Church of Rochester and enjoys community service.
