Rob Hardy is a proven leader with decades of executive, civic, and volunteer experience.

Rob was born on an Army base in Frankfurt, Germany, into a career military family. His father, Bill, served under General George Patton, commanding a tank through several campaigns, including the landing on Normandy Beach. 

​

Originally a physics major at UT Austin, Rob’s path changed after he witnessed a drowning during a lakeside emergency while on summer break. When he returned to school that fall, he switched his major to Community & Health Education and began training in the Emergency Medical Services field.

​

Rob joined Austin Emergency Medical Services and built a distinguished 10-year career, ultimately serving as a District Commander.​

​

Then Rob completed his Master’s in Health Administration at Texas State University in San Marcos, launching a career of more than 30 years in hospital and healthcare administration.
