Meet Rob our Store Manager at East Cobb!

What are you most passionate about?
Fitness/ Weight Lifting.  I train with a group and on my own 6 days per week.  The gym is my happy place.  I also have a passion for biking, both mountain and street.  A close third would be camping and kayaking! I have an A frame camper and take it on the road with my kayaks whenever I get the chance!  I have lots of passions! Basically anything outside!
What are you currently watching on Netflix?
The Crown and Grace and Frankie.
If you were an animal what would you be?
 My cat Franklin.  He has the perfect balance between play and sleep.
If you could visit anywhere in the world you've never been, where would you go?
​ Ireland.  I am 99% Irish and would love to experience my origin. 
What’s the coolest thing about your job?
Finding the perfect shoe for a customer.  We have some customers that can barely walk and finding them the right shoe to alleviate their pain is priceless.  Second is my coworkers -- they have become like a family to me. 
What is your favorite shoe brand and why? 
No surprise to anyone at Abbadabba's but my favorite is  Keen.  The Keen shoe fits my wide feet well.  It has both a wide and tall toe box.  A close second would be Brooks.  The cushion and support are fantastic for a day at work or for the gym.
​Why do you love Atlanta?
​Even though Atlanta is a larger city, each area of town feels like a small community. 
Where in Atlanta do you wear your shoes? 
Biking around Chastain Park, Blankets Creek and Raccoon Mountain,  gym training and playing in Midtown.
What is your favorite restaurant in Atlanta?
Six Feet Under.  I am from South Louisiana-Cajun country and love spicy seafood--they get it pretty close to the food I grew up on.
What is your favorite part of town?
Buckhead has been my home for many years but my playground is Midtown.

Thank you, Rob!
