Robert grew up in El Paso, went to Franklin High School and holds both a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin. He and his family have deep ties to the region and look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of El Paso Electric and the communities across west Texas and southern New Mexico.
