About Rob
I graduated from York College of Pennsylvania in May 2010 with a degree in Management and minor in Marketing. In December of 2011, I received Pennsylvania certification to teach Business, Computer, & Information Technology grades K-12. I currently work at In The Spotlight Marketing as a Marketing Specialist and serve as the Marketing Coordinator at my family's Italian food store while looking for a full time teaching position. I will have my masters degree in Business Education in May 2012. Educating others and coaching football is what motivates and drives me as a person. My life goals are to be happy at a high school teaching business education while becoming a successful football coach. I always enjoy meeting new people and strongly believe that life is all about relationships!
