Robert also is an active member of the Prince William Committee of 100 and is a graduate of the county's Community Leadership Institute.

He served many roles as a volunteer with a Catholic Diocese of Richmond's refugee resettlement program and assists local church-sponsored community services in a variety of ways, including food banks and personal counseling.
Robert has planned and participated in clean-up projects sponsored by Virginia's Adopt-A-Highway program and the Friends of the Occoquan. He is currently working with the Prince William Conservation Alliance to develop a pilot stormwater management project to help local developers and homeowners' associations reduce waterway pollution and beautify their communities. Robert's other community activities include his participation in Neighborhood Watch, his work as a pet adoption volunteer with the LCHS, membership in the Virginia Citizens Defense League, and service as board member and past President of his homeowner's association.
