Rob is the co-owner of Sabrewing Nature Tours and leads birding and photography tours around the world. He has traveled and birded extensively throughout the Americas and spent time in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Rob has served on the board of directors for Ohio’s Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) for the past ten years and sits on the planning team for BSBO’s Biggest Week in American Birding. He plans and manages logistics for all field trips during Biggest Week, an event that draws thousands of birders to northwest Ohio and is the largest birding festival in the United States.
When not on tours or at festivals, Rob speaks at a variety of organizations and schools about birds and birding to share his knowledge and experiences in the field. He served as the primary bird blogger for Birds & Blooms Magazine from 2013-2017 and has been featured in several other publications as well as a PBS documentary about spring bird migration.
Rob loves working with new and experienced birders of all ages and believes that teaching people about birds will not only increase interest in birding but also help them better understand why we must work to protect birds and their habitats.
