Five years ago today, on October 8, 2021, Rides with Rob rolled onto the streets for the very first time.

My first ride was a late-night pickup in Berlin, NH, from Fagin's Pub, in a 2011 Jeep Patriot that I had paid $600 for and fixed up myself.

I was out for about 8 hours that night. I gave two rides.

When I started, I had no expectations. It was simply a side hustle to make some extra money after buying a house in an area that was still new to me. Just like when I came to Greenville two years ago, I didn’t know anyone, and no one knew me.

I was also told back then that I would never make it.

Instead, that first ride led to three wonderful years of connections, relationships, and positive contributions to a community that desperately needed it. It ultimately culminated in a letter of commendation from Mayor Robert Cone, which was presented to me at City Hall just days before leaving for North Carolina—a day I will also never forget.

Sometimes I think about how far I’ve come since that first ride.

My business looks so much different today. Not necessarily better—just very different. But it’s still just as special.

I never dreamed that a late-night bar run in an old Jeep would lead to consistent airport transfers, corporate transportation, partnerships with key organizations, and so many other memorable trips and connections.

Today is a special day indeed.

What started as a silly little idea has grown into a meaningful and memorable business—one whose impact is still felt almost 900 miles away.

I’m truly grateful for these last five years, and excited to see what the next five bring! ✨

Brighter days ahead ☀️

Five years in the books, and year six is already off to a great start!

Just one week in, and the rubber has already met the road in three states. New clients are booking every week, past clients are returning again and again, and a new professional partnership in Greenville is taking shape.

The calendar is already filling up through October 2027, with two new transport destinations—Florida and Pennsylvania—already on the horizon. That will bring my total to 14 destination states since my humble beginnings in 2021.

Things are getting exciting. And busy!

But I will never be too busy to pause and give thanks. I’m so grateful to be seen, valued, and supported here in Greenville. The future is bright, and I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing where the next five years take me.

Here’s to year six! ✨

Five years ago, I had an idea.

That’s really where this story begins.

Five years ago in New Hampshire, the idea for Rides with Rob was born. I had no concept of what it would become. I just knew I wanted to build something of my own, do it the right way, and serve people.

There were plenty of reasons to wonder whether it would work. There were those who told me it wouldn’t, and there were moments when I wondered the same thing myself.

But I kept going, and to my surprise, it worked—and worked well.

In 2024, I moved to North Carolina and launched Rides with Rob in Greenville. Starting over in a new and unfamiliar place came with another wave of uncertainty and self-doubt, but I remembered something I’d been told by my northern friends and clients before I left:

Just do what you do.

So that’s what I did.

I showed up, took care of people, made every ride matter, and let the rest evolve naturally.

And slowly, something happened.

Word began to spread. One connection led to another. And opportunities emerged from places I never imagined they would—even today as I write this.

That’s probably the part of this journey that amazes me the most.

So much of what has happened has come from someone taking a chance on me. Then another…and another. And before I knew it, a new Rides with Rob family formed…and grew…and continues to grow.

Five years ago–even two years ago–I couldn’t have planned any of this. I couldn’t have predicted the people I’d meet, the relationships I’d build, the places I’d go, or the doors that would eventually open.

Even now, when someone gets into my vehicle and trusts me to get them where they’re going, I still don’t take that for granted.

I’m incredibly grateful for every person who has been part of this journey, from the mountains of New Hampshire to the coastal plains of North Carolina—for every moment, every conversation, every referral, every opportunity, every challenge, and every person who simply said, “Keep going.”

Five years ago, I had an idea. Today, that idea is still moving—and so am I.

Here’s to another 5 years in your service.

Thank you. 🙏
