He went on to write numerous screenplays and has seen five of his movies make it to the small screen. His TV movie credits include Three Days, Secret Santa, Hidden Places, Farewell Mr. Kringle, and Christmas Cookies, and he also wrote the novels Secret Santa (Atria) and Forever Christmas (Thomas Nelson).Rob graduated from East Henderson High School and attended the University of Georgia, where he earned a BA in journalism/mass communications.
