Robin started Golay Retriever Kennels 25 years ago where he raised pure-bred labradors and began training dogs for hunting and later for K-9 units with various police departments.

In 2000 he started Golay Pet Foods and operated it until illness forced him to quit. Robin often rode with K-9 units with the police departments, was a member of Ducks Unlimited, was an avid hunter and fisherman, but the thing he took most pleasure in was flying.
