Biography
|
|
Robin has been a racecar fanatic
all of his life. After witnessing the Indianapolis 500
with his family at the age of 4 his course was firmly set to
become a racecar driver! He began racing karts at the
tender age of nine and went on to become a highly regarded
driver winning local, regional, and national events, including
state and track championships. He showed his innovative
entrepreneurial spirit early by opening and operating a
successful business importing and marketing karting chassis
and components from Italy at the age of 16.
He went on to attend the University of Pittsburgh to study
business administration while continuing to race karts.
Soon his desire to move into the higher forms of American
motorsports drew him to midget car racing. The
transition proved to be a smooth one, as he was able to adapt
easily to the larger and faster cars notching many top 10
finishes with every different sanctioning body he raced under.
Robin then went on to work in the technical support field at
computer software manufacturer Legent Corporation.
Currently he is working as a product marketing manager for the
computer software giant Computer Associates International in
Pittsburgh, PA.
Another step up the motorsports ladder was
accomplished as he debuted in the prestigious USAC Silver
Bullet racing series. He has run a few races and logged
many miles in the powerful and majestic "Champ Cars"
on both dirt and asphalt. |
