After many years of retail management, Robert entered into massage therapy school at SpaTech in Portland, Maine. He graduated in December 2002, and chose to further his SpaTech experience by completing a year long program allowing him to teach massage therapy courses to the new students.

His desire to offer therapeutic services to a large clientele led Robert to York County in 2003 where he practiced massage for 3 years. In 2006, he broadened his horizons by becoming a Massage Clinic Administrator in San Antonio, Texas. Although Texas had a lot to offer, Robert missed the Ogunquit atmosphere so he moved back and began working at Genesis Day Spa in May 2009.

Robert shows great enthusiasm and a strong passion for massage and its benefits. He enjoys providing massage modalities such as deep tissue, relaxation, reflexology, sports massage, neuromuscular, myofascial release, chair massage, hot stone massage, and spa treatments such as body wraps and salt glows. He is excited to offer these treatments to new and returning clients!
