Chair and Treasurer
Robert is a founding member of the Silence board and currently serves as Treasurer. He is founder and Chairman of The PEER Group Inc. in Kitchener, Ontario, an industrial automation software company employing 130 people. After retiring as a successful entrepreneur, Robert rediscovered his long lost love of playing concert band music and joined Guelph New Horizons and Kitchener Musical Society concert bands playing bass clarinet. After reconnecting with music, Robert came to the realization that today’s society values and respects the corporate arena more than the cultural world. In an effort to provide musicians affordable playing venues. Robert joined the Silence team. His goal is to provide a listening space where artists can develop their audience, build new repertoire, and, most importantly, advance their craft by pushing boundaries through experimentation, improvisations, and sharing with others.
