Although heavily controversial, Robert never wavered on his stand. After high school he graduated from culinary arts and became a chef. He did work at multiple casino's until an injury and was asked to resign. Being a chef was his main passion. After healing, he put his main goal to help his people in the Native community. He always said "we have to take care of the elders and the children for their future". He always helped anyone who was in need the best way he could, even if it was his last dollar. He always said " give and don't expect it back because the Lord would always bless you in return". He was one who loved his family and would do everything to make sure they had what they needed and more. Robert was funny, kind hearted and passionate and loved everyone and always knew what you were going through, to help get you through any situation.
