Search Manager

Rob is one of newest (and definitely the tallest) members of the Simplify Digital online team, brought in to help deliver this fantastic website to the top of the search engines.

His relationship with Google and Bing seems to swing regularly between love and hate but is always ultimately rewarding.

On the rare occasion he’s not thinking about increasing our online visibility, he can be found on his latest health drive (currently sprout and broccoli smoothies), playing bizarre sports (dodgeball anyone?), or writing about himself in the third person.

He’s also REALLY cool.
