Rob's worked with Planet Antares now for over fifteen years. As publisher of the Planet Antares Distributor Newsletter, his job is to keep our distributors on the cutting edge of vending technology, providing them with practical information regarding market trends and sales strategy. He gathers his information by spending time each week reviewing vending, beverage, and food service trade publications, business newspapers, and doing internet and real-world market research.

One of the delights of his job is interviewing Planet Antares distributors - many of whom he's come to know personally - sharing tips on how to do things better, conducting regional surveys of the fastest moving snacks and hot new products. As a reader of the Newsletter, you'll also learn about changes in the federal tax code, and the potential tax breaks for distributors, critical menu planning, and how to better market your business in your community.

A resident of the Seattle area, Rob is a man who enjoys his job - every single bite - sampling the new snacks he writes about. And so do his wife and kids, who eagerly volunteer to sample the goodies as well.
