1954 - Robyn was born in Detroit , Michigan .  His father and mother were both teachers but Robyn’s father, Sam, worked as a Park Ranger every summer at parks such as Glacier National Park and Olympic National Park.  It was at these parks that Robyn’s love of the outdoors and fishing began.

1984 - Robyn received his B.S. in Computer Science from Northern Michigan University and found a way to support his hobbies.

1991 - Moved from Michigan to Dallas , Texas where his wife, Brenda, taught him how to fish for bass.  For several years, every free evening was spent at local lakes perfecting his fishing techniques.  Each weekend was spent at Lake Fork searching for lunkers.
