About Me: A Legacy of Stone, Craft, and Creativity

Hi there, I’m Robin—better known as Rob or Robby to friends and colleagues. My journey began on construction sites, where the rhythmic hum of hard work became my second home. That passion eventually led me to architectural cast stone, a field I’ve been proud to work in since the early ’90s.

What started as a chance opportunity—helping a customer in need—grew into an industry-leading business. My double garage became a workshop, and before long, my company was shaping architectural trends with innovative cast stone designs.

The 2008 financial crisis brought challenges that tested my resilience, but it also reshaped my values and inspired me to share my knowledge. Today, Cast Stone Pro is more than a website; it’s a place to preserve the legacy of architectural cast stone, while inspiring creativity and growth in crafts and DIY.

The Beauty of Architectural Cast Stone

There’s something magical about how a well-crafted piece of cast stone can transform an ordinary building into a work of art. Over the years, I’ve witnessed its versatility and enduring beauty, and I’ve been privileged to play a role in expanding its use. Cast Stone Pro is my way of passing on that knowledge, helping others appreciate and work with this incredible material.

Expanding Into Crafts and DIY

The techniques I’ve mastered in architectural cast stone translate seamlessly into other crafts, including mold-making, resin art, and DIY projects. Working on a smaller scale has allowed me to refine my skills and connect with a broader creative community.

Whether it’s crafting intricate models or managing large-scale home renovations, I bring the same dedication and precision to every project. My goal is to make these skills accessible to anyone, no matter their experience level.
