Mr. Robin, an athletics coach, served as a dental tech in his 4-years enlistment in the US Navy.

While serving, he was accepted into the US Navy basketball team. After his service he moved to the state of Washington on a basketball scholarship, where he obtained his degree. While married, pursuing his degree and playing basketball on a full scholarship, at the age of twenty-four he and his wife became at the time the youngest foster parents in the state. The joy of positively changing and influencing a young child that would have otherwise been neglected impacted his outlook on life.
