Born and raised in New York City, Robert, (nevertheless a life-long Red Sox fan), received his professional training and established his career in Boston. He apprenticed with several firms, among them the Boston office of Bertrand Goldberg (known best for Marina Towers in Chicago) and Benjamin Thompson and Associates in Cambridge. For these firms he worked on projects such as Brigham and Women's Hospital, the Dana Farber Research Building, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, and several large hotels in the mid-East including the Intercontinental in Cairo, Egypt. In 1978, having been awarded the first of many commissions for USTrust Robert launched Stein and Associates. For the next 18 years he worked on hundreds of projects from his Back Bay offices. Among those were Smith Hall at Massachusetts College of Art, the Envision Offices in Boston, MA, Belmont Tennis Club, and the Charleston Holocaust Memorial in Charleston, SC, all of which won awards of Excellence in Design from the Boston Society of Architects.
Looking for the collaboration only a large company could offer, Robert joined Carlson in 1996 and became their Director of Design in 1999. Robert managed a design team of sixty architects and engineers in Carlson's Framingham, MA office. Here he began his work on data centers, winning an award of Excellence in Design for the State Street Data Center in Kansas City, MO. On March 3, 2003, Robert joined three other founding principals and a small core of other Carlson professionals to form idGroup.
