His feature length screenplays and films have won several awards and opened doors with talent and literary agencies. Robert's multimedia production company has been going strong for over 20 years. He created Prevalent Entertainment, Inc. as an encompassing entity for a comprehensive array of production ventures in Film, Television, Animation and Music. Prevalent Entertainment was born in the mid 1990's as a music production company when Robert signed on as a music composer for the Universal Music Group (UMG). To this day, UMG annually generates hundreds of placements for Robert's songs in film and television. Around that time, Robert became an integral part of the animation technology team at DreamWorks SKG. For 7 years, he worked on such animated features as Shrek, Shrek 2, and Over the Hedge. He has played a crucial role for the story departments in the areas of storyboard development, computer enhanced visual development, computer generated animation and digital audio production. It is here that he first developed skills in 3D animation and visual effects. He was also a Project Manager for Walt Disney Studios, developing technology to manage their CG animation production pipeline from pre-production through post. Most recently, Robert is the Head of Previs Animation at Fotocomics Productions, producing Previs Animation and 3D visual effects shots for the film Whiteshoe by acclaimed film director Mauro Borelli.

Through Prevalent, Robert was contracted to produce and direct Life's a Jungle, a 3D animated family film that was released worldwide by Phase 4 Films on May 15, 2012.
