## Early Life[edit]

Pearsall began his career by taking drum lessons at age ten. By age twelve, his teacher had recommended him to be the pit drummer in a community theater production of Guys and Dolls. At sixteen, he taught himself to play guitar which also kickstarted his interest in songwriting. Through high school jazz band and musicals, church choirs, and rock bands, he moved on to college where he graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Bachelors degree in music with emphasis on 'Electronic Music and Recording'.

During college he found time to be the sound mixer for the band, Children of the Light[4] on a national tour, produced a solo Christian music album, Abiding in Him,[5] and started the band, Tradewind, also producing their album, Until the Storm is Past.[6]

## Early Career[edit]

For the next ten years, Rob worked as a church music leader in three different churches in California.

Then in 1992, he revived his career as a recording artist, touring nationally and writing/recording two CD's of original music and one acoustic cover album of hymns.

## Game & Film Career[edit]

2002-present For games, Rob has filled the roles of audio tester, mixer, VO editor, sound designer, audio director, and composer. For film, he composed the score for the short film, "The Gift" (2015).[7]
