Robert graduated from Samford University with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion. When he and his wife moved to Mississippi, Robert started working for a local business man in his accounting department. Within the first few months, Robert was asked to design a custom accounting system that performed specific functions that a typical accounting software couldn't perform. It was designed to perform certain calculations and meet certain specifications of the way this business had been running for over 35 years. After a few months of design, the system was implemented and matched the old system within a .001% variance. Over the last 22 years, Robert adapted the system to meet the growing needs of the business as the business has more than doubled in size.
After designing the system, and while working full time, Robert decided to go back to college. He attended Mississippi College and received the equivalent of an accounting degree. Since then, Robert has assisted in the design and implementation of accounting systems for retail stores, small and large businesses, and non-profit organizations. He has also managed the bookkeeping, accounting, and financial reporting for many of those same businesses.
