Rob started his career as a marine engineering officer in the Royal Australian Navy. After 6 years and including active service in the Persian Gulf he retired from the Navy commenced working as a mechanical engineer in the construction industry. In 2010 he founded an organic soup kitchen in Sydney’s Kings Cross with the intention of bringing people together to share a meal.  The success of the soup kitchen led him to create buy one give one social enterprise, Two Good Co, as a way to scale the soup kitchen without having to fundraise.  Realising that their social impact was greater working with women who have experienced domestic violence, Two Good pivoted to focus on a mission to deliver good food and good things to every women’s safe house in Australia. Two Good now collaborates with Australia’s top chefs to donate thousands of meals each week, but what they are most proud of is that to make the meals, they employ women from the safe houses they serve.   Two Good has recently expanded into other categories such as toiletries, apparel and homewares.
