He serves on the Chesapeake Hospital Authority board for Chesapeake Regional Medical Center and is past-chairman of the Chesapeake Regional Health Foundation Board.

Christian education is very important to Robin, leading to his time spent as chairman of the Atlantic Shores Christian School Board and serving on the Alumni Board of Oral Roberts University. Robin received his Bachelor of Science degree from ORU in 1981, and then entered the financial planning profession after receiving an MBA with a concentration in finance from The University of Houston. While attending ORU, he met his future wife Cathy (Climpson, class of 1982), who is today a passionate educator teaching science. Robin and Cathy’s enthusiasm for ORU was passed on to their children, three of whom followed in their footsteps also attending ORU (Andrew, class of 2010; Courtnay, class of 2011; and Victoria, who went on to graduate from Old Dominion University in 2017. Their youngest son, Philip, is a 2014 graduate of Southeastern University where he was recruited to play soccer.) Together they enjoy making time spent with family a priority. They often gather for ski trips in Steamboat, CO, or travel through Europe, where Robin has completed three cross-country cycling tours. Robin and Cathy currently attend Riverbend Church in Suffolk, VA, where they continue to actively serve and support the community they love.
