Luncheon Meeting

Mr. Holmes is a 1989 graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point, where he majored in economics and interned at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, a leading policy center in Washington, DC.  He was commissioned as an Armor officer in the US Army and was decorated with the Bronze Star for Valor under enemy fire in Iraq. Rob finished his service at the rank of Major after fifteen years on active and reserve duty. Rob studied at the London School of Economics, earned an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has completed courses at Hillsdale College on the US Constitution, the Federalist Papers, Athens & Sparta, and the Roman Republic.

Most recently, Mr. Holmes co-founded an innovative career skills school which trains for traditional trades. In just three years, Forge Now has graduated over 1,300 technicians who are now impacting over 2 million households and communities. About 50% of the school’s applicants are military veterans in transition after completing service. The other 50% are broadly from the “under-employed,” such as recent high school graduates, college false starts, formerly incarcerated, and new Americans all seeking sustainable, fulfilling careers.
