Rob's Biography

When Rob Cork was in the third grade a NASA spokesperson visited his school. In that brief gymnasium talk, the speaker conveyed to Rob an excitement and enthusiasm for the space program — and public speaking — that has been with him ever since. Today Rob shares that enthusiasm with his audiences in a personal, dynamic style, whether his topic is the history of the U.S. space program or other historical subjects.

Rob has a diverse background in public speaking, writing, educational program development, corporate communications and theatre. He has spoken in museums, science centers, schools, bookstores, churches, and libraries and for parent-teacher organizations, the Cub Scouts, the Jaycees and corporate training audiences.

Rob earned a Bachelor's degree in corporate communications from Southern Connecticut State University with a minor in theatre and course work in journalism. He currently works in the nonprofit field in the Washington, D.C. area and is also the artistic director of Kaleidoscope Theatre Company, which brings the magic of live theatre to children and their families. He is a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and its Speakers Bureau.
