Rob La Gesse

One of six brothers, Rob La Gesse grew up in a small farming community in Illinois before moving to Texas for high school. After graduation, Rob joined the Navy and worked both as a combat medic and a neonatal respiratory therapist. A lifelong reader, Rob taught himself programming and moved to the tech world in time to help develop Wi-Fi.

While raising his two children, Rob joined the internet hosting company, Rackspace, where he eventually became the VP of Global Social Strategy. Rob has spent a lifetime reinventing himself and now, in semi-retirement, is in the midst of doing so again.
