Since relocating back to San Jose, CA I now run Rancho Roben Rescues- a 501c3 farm animal rescue started with my incredible wife, Dr. Emily Roben, which is the forever home to 250+ critters including 120 chickens, 28 ducks, 6 geese, 10 goats, 4 horses (1 miniature horse 2 ponies 1 quarter horse), 8 pigs, 3 alpaca, 2 livestock guardian dogs, 3 indoor dogs, 14 barn cats, 1 indoor cats, 8 rabbits, 2 tortoises, 1 turtle AND whatever else comes our way!

We also run a successful Airbnb renting out a fully converted school bus for nightly stays, host pool parties via Swimply and share our amazing space with guests through a 90+ minute farm tour on Airbnb Experiences.
