Bio

For more than 20 years, Rob has presented workshops and AP Summer Institutes throughout the US and internationally, in locations ranging from the bucolic Northeast Kingdom of Vermont to the inner cities of Boston and Chicago.  He has been a presenter at AP Annual Conferences, served as an AP Mentor, and has contributed ancillary materials to a number of popular textbooks.  Rob has been an AP English Lit Reader and Table Leader, beginning in 1999. 

Rob taught AP English Literature and led the English Department at Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington, Vermont, for more than 35 years.  He continues to teach in a variety of settings, serving students in Vermont, in New York, in Virginia, and in Suzhou, China.  No stranger to virtual learning, Rob began teaching online in ancient pre-internet days on dial-up modems.  In the years since, he has taught online classes in both college and high school settings as well as virtual AP workshops.  

Outside the virtual, physical and metaphoric classroom, Rob enjoys fishing in Vermont’s picturesque trout streams, teaching people to fish as a volunteer for the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, and for over 20 years was the off-camera signature voice of Vermont Public Television.
