Rob Wilburn's journey begins in the bustling city of Bethesda, Maryland, where he takes his first steps into a world that will eventually lead him to the heart of Texas. Raised against the backdrop of Permian High School's spirited community in Odessa, his early years were steeped in the rich tapestry of Texan culture and family values.
From a young age, he was drawn to the world of automobiles, a passion cultivated by his father and brother. Together, they would spend weekends tinkering with engines and fine-tuning cars, instilling in him a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and attention to detail. Meanwhile, his mother's ER/ICU nurse role instilled in him a sense of empathy and service toward others, shaping his character and worldview.
Growing up in the close-knit community of Odessa, Rob thrived amidst church activities, neighborhood gatherings, and local events. These experiences fostered his sense of belonging and taught him the importance of resilience and community bonds.
Upon enrolling at Texas A&M University, Rob pursued a degree in Industrial Distribution, where he excelled academically and socially. Immersing himself in campus life, he became involved in various extracurricular activities, including the waterski and the Aggie Wranglers Country Western Dance Team, forging lifelong friendships and creating lasting memories.
