He studied classical clarinet with James Hopper at Boise State University and later joined him in the clarinet section of the Boise Philharmonic. Robbie also studied jazz theory with jazz bassist Gary Peacock in Seattle. In 1976, David Lanz encouraged him to relocate to Seattle and play in Lanz's band.

He performed and/or recorded with notable Windham Hill recording artists Scott Cossu, Michael Hedges, Michael Manring, Van Manakas, Liz Story, Alex Degrasis and Scott Vomvolakis.

Robbie was also grateful to be part of a show recorded live at Jazz Alley in Seattle – which was a concert that benefited Habitat for Humanity (for the victims of Hurricane Katrina).  Jeremy Ryan assembled a cast of some of N’AWLINS finest musicians, which included Dr. John’s Lower 911 rhythm section and Harry Connick Jr.’s featured soloists (Leroy Jones and Craig Klein). Robbie and Terry Townson have also recently begun working together as a team, forming the JoTown horns. Over the years, Robbie has been a performing artist/clinician for Selmer & Jupiter Instrument Companies. He has given hundreds of workshops, master classes and concerts at festivals and schools.
