Robin comes from a family of engineers and teachers and has always had an
interest in technology and machinery. His Interests led him to seek a degree
from Tufts University in Mechanical Engineering and German language. Robin

as a sales person for consumer electronics retailers and after graduating he
took on the role of head coach of the Tufts University Ski Team. The combination
Robin’s engineering, sales, and teaching skills is the basis for his
entrepreneurial ambition.
Robin soon moved on to develop his engineering career at Instron Corporation, a
worldwide leader in the production of materials testing equipment. He
advanced quickly at Instron from custom project engineer to assistant product
manager in just a few years. He also spent a couple years working from the
company’s German office where his focus was to enhance Instron’s competitive
edge. Robin’s new roles in marketing and management and his experience
abroad led him to consider returning to school to study international business
management.
While planning his strategy for business school in 2002, Robin decided to start
a small business for home system installation. He reconnected with a former
colleague from Circuit City, Greg Brett, who was a manager in the retail
consumer electronics business. They decided to combine their talents and found
the new company together. Robin and Greg soon realized the true potential in
serving this market segment and the concept of Sounds Good became a reality.
Robin’s role as one of the owners of Sounds Good Corporation is multi-faceted.

electronics technology integration team as well as the business consulting team.
With a vigilant eye to future technologies, Robin capitalizes on his engineering
expertise to introduce and integrate the most practical, efficient, and well
designed systems for Sounds Good customers.
