Rob embarked on his CASA journey in 2013, becoming a dedicated volunteer. It was during this time that he first encountered Zach when he was 15 years old. Notably, Zach was the fifth case that Rob had been assigned to, showcasing his wealth of experience in supporting young individuals. Zach, deeply impressed by Rob’s selflessness in volunteering his free time, felt a genuine connection with him. Recognizing Zach’s aspirations, Rob played a crucial role in assisting him to secure a place in the Grizzly Youth Academy, which was Zach’s heartfelt ambition.

Rob’s unwavering belief in Zach’s potential, coupled with his firm accountability, ensured that Zach achieved his cherished goal. CASA presents a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of others. Presently, Zach has set his sights on an even loftier objective: attending the Marine Corps boot camp and building the family-like bond he had always longed for. Through Rob’s unwavering commitment as his CASA, Zach’s dreams and aspirations have exceeded his wildest expectations, enabling him to aspire to greater dreams than he ever thought possible.
