Robert Yockey

Robert has worked in every role from operations to sales in the environmental services industry. As a steward of conservation with involvement in community outreach programs, Robert will bring his passion and drive to expand and grow the CureGrin organization. For Robert, it’s about facilitating the growth that will provide the organization with the resources needed to recognize, diagnose, and treat GRIA disorders with the most effective treatments.

Two years ago, Robert’s son Cole, was diagnosed with GRIA2. Robert’s wife Emily put her career on hold and dedicated herself to being the caregiver for their son. She found a small study, then found someone on Facebook that led her to this organization. It is Robert’s hope that someday when another family hears the same news as he did that day in the hospital that the doctor can say that there is a community of other people out there going through the same thing, and they have a cure.
