My Story
My Strength
Life demands strength to thrive—without it, we struggle to find real success. I know this firsthand. I’m Fireman Rob, and I bring powerful impact to audiences through stories and lessons that have been Forged in the Fires.
From my years of service as a firefighter, to surviving the Discovery Channel’s Ultimate Ninja Challenge, to performing search and recovery after the 9/11 attacks—my journey has tested every limit. My message resonates because it’s real.
Life doesn't
get easier...
you get stronger

I
AM...
It’s the stories that connect us. I bring a down-to-earth, genuine approach to every room I step into—whether it’s a stadium or a classroom. My mission is to challenge every person to take action, to push past adversity, and to discover their purpose.
I share simple, powerful strategies anyone can use to build mental strength, lead with purpose, and live a bold, action-driven life.
I’m just a guy who continues to push the limits of what’s possible—and I’ll show you how to do the same.
...a dynamic storyteller with a powerful, iconic journey that brings audiences to life.
Through my role as Fireman Rob, I’ve inspired people around the world—speaking, training, racing in full 50-pound firefighter gear, breaking world records, and delivering teddy bears to children in hospitals globally.
I live what I speak. I believe there are no fears or challenges too great when you’re powered by purpose and a strong mindset.
From Fortune 500 companies to community organizations to colleges, I’ve worked with teams and leaders at 3M, US Bank, Southwest Airlines, ATF, Timex, USA Triathlon, Kraft, and more.
Find the Courage
