I'm Rob, a programmer/developer here at Vintage. I started here as an intern in May of 2010 and accepted a full time position when I graduated Southeast Missouri State University in December of that same year, with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems.
I got into the field of programming in my mid-thirties, when I returned to college as a non-traditional student (read: old guy), but have always enjoyed working with computers and am glad to be employed at a small company with a high focus on employee development.
A feature I'm looking forward to helping develop on AntiqueMalls.com is the ability to buy and sell Antiques directly on the site from participating Antique Malls. I'm not much of a shopper, and although I'm aware I'm probably in the minority in this, if I'm looking for something I'd much rather enter it in a search bar and let the computer find it for me than look for it myself. There have to be a few people out there that feel the same way.
When not at work I enjoy cooking, video games, and following professional football. I'm also a bit of a movie buff. Some of my favorite classic films include Seven Samurai, The Maltese Falcon, and Strangers on a Train. Oh, and Rear Window. Jimmie Stewart was awesome in that.
