My name is Rob Tripp. I have been in the service, research and education fields for over 20 years with experiences ranging from elementary school special education, experiential wilderness education, university administration, post-secondary teaching, and network administration. I currently work with a non-profit running a statewide database for homeless service providers.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Religion from UNCW, a Master's of Science in Higher Education from Florida State University and a PhD in Educational Leadership from the University of Nebraska.

I currently live in Wilmington, North Carolina with my wife and three children.
