Describe your background.Rob Sukol holding a guitar on stage, with a microphone in front of him.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The music scene in Philly grabbed me early. I played guitar and bass and was fortunate to work with, and learn from, some amazing musicians. I am married, with two grown sons. Our older son is a teacher, currently working in Yunnan Province, China. Our younger son is studying political science at Virginia Commonwealth University.

What is your academic/professional history?

In my 20s, I focused on music. I played in some great bands and had a lot of fun, but I was usually broke. By 30, I was married and needed a “real job”.
