About Robert
A native of Chicago, Robert left a scholarship at the Art Institute of
Chicago in 1990 to pursue a degree in computer science at the University
of Minnesota. While attending the University, he landed a job fixing
computers for the Human Factors Research Laboratory . Over a three year
period, he rose to become head engineer of the lab while earning
scholarships from the U.S. Navy and the FAA building flight and driving
simulators. It was also during this time he started a computer
consulting business.
In April 1994, after three years at the University, he formed The Geek
Squad with $200. In 2002, The Geek Squad acquired Best Buy and opened
Geek Squad precincts in all Best Buy US and Canadian stores. Now, with
over 25,000 Agents, The Geek Squad is now the world's largest technology
support company offering phone, in-store, and in-home, and online
support.
In 2010, Robert was appointed as the Chief Technology Officer for Best
Buy.
