He built and wired state-of-the-art, 300-plus-unit luxury apartment complexes across from the Milpitas Mall to Stanford graduate dorms. He also worked on luxury condos with views of Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. Another notable project was the 21-story highrise in downtown San Jose in the bustling San Pedro Square area.

After completing his three-year residential electrical apprenticeship, Rob decided to dive deeper into the electrical field, joining Santa Clara County’s five-year commercial apprenticeship program. Here, Rob worked hand in hand with many tech companies that call Silicon Valley home and smart professionals planting their roots in the area. As a commercial electrician, Rob helped build and wire data centers, including Intuitive Surgical labs, Supermicro labs, Intel labs, Google cafes, Facebook offices, Qualcomm offices, and the Sunnyvale Library, among many other projects.
