built 277 days ago
Born on a military base in West Germany on February 14, 1972, Robert Kelly “Rob” Thomas spent much of his youth shuttling between his grandmother in South Carolina and his mom in Florida. After dropping out of both high school and his difficult home life, the 17-year-old drifted around the Southeast, hitchhiking and crashing where he could.

At Dell, Rob led the Nashville area in sales with service and support, coming in at number 8 for his segment in the entire company. This won him many seats at Dell's C.O.E. (Circle of Excellence) each quarter. Previously, Rob was employed at Overnite Transportation Company, an LTL freight carrier primarily based in the eastern half of the US.
